Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The null hypothesis ( H0\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }H0 ) should reflect the situation before the change (receiving an average of 20 spam emails a day), and the alternative hypothesis ( HA\mathrm { H } _ { \mathrm { A } }HA ) should reflect the expected outcome if the spam blocker is working (receiving less than 20 spam emails a day). Therefore, option C is correct.
