B.) if statistical results are significant

Explanation:

If a scientist accepts the null hypothesis, then there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

This means that the p-value is less than the significance level.

When the scientist accepts the alternative hypothesis, it means the statistical results are significant.
