B. It is usually a statement that the researcher hopes to demonstrate is true.

Explanation:

Alternative hypothesis is an assumption that there is inequality present between the means of the values of a population being compared, ie, it is an assumption that the alternative hypothesis is true. In other words, an alternative hypothesis is considered as any hypothesis that reflects the doubt that caused the researcher to perform the test. It is always represented by an inequality. This inequality represents the possible values of the evaluated parameter.
