Answer: A. The average midterm score for those who listen to classical music while studying is higher than the average midterm score for those who don't listen to music while studying.

Step-by-step explanation:

An Alternative Hypothesis is one that disproves the Null Hypothesis in that it believes that indeed there is a change in the dependent variable due to a change in the independent variable.

The Alternative Hypothesis essentially aims to prove the assertion of the Researcher that there is an effect as a result of the introduction of a variable.

Null Hypothesis on the other hand believes that no significant difference exists between a change in a dependant Variable as a result of a change in an independent one.

The correct answer above therefore is that indeed music while studying inspires people to do better in exams than those who do not listen to music while studying. This is the alternative hypothesis because it believes that there was a change in the exam results due to reading while studying.
