A is a type of error that occurs if we reject H0 when H0 is true. That is, the test finds convincing evidence that Ha is true when it really isn’t.

A Type I error occurs when we reject the null hypothesis, H0, even though H0 is true. In this situation, the test incorrectly suggests convincing evidence for Ha, so the correct choice is Type I error.
