George ran a two-sample t test to estimate whether there was a significant difference in the averages between hours men spend on social media in a day versus hours women spend on social media in a day. He got a t score of 14.7. What does this mean?

A) There is no statistically significant difference in social media use between men and women, on average, in the population; the null hypothesis could not be rejected; there may not be a significant link between gender and social media use.

B) There is a statistically significant difference in social media use between men and women, on average, in the population; the null hypothesis can be rejected; there is likely a significant link between gender and social media use.

C) The meaning is unknown because we don't know the probability, that is, the p value, of a statistically significant relationship or not.

D) It depends on the hypothesis.
