B) When the alternative hypothesis is two-sided, the null hypothesis is rejected for values of the test statistic located in either tail of that statistic's sampling distribution.
C) When the alternative hypothesis is two-sided, the rejection region is split between the two tails of the test statistic's sampling distribution.
