Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
This is a nondirectional research hypothesis because it does not specify the nature or direction of the relationship between the variables. It simply states that there is a difference between the two variables. The other options all have specific directional hypotheses, indicating a specific expected relationship between the variables.
