Ah, the old 'regression with a minus sign' trick! I bet the answer is D, and if not, well, at least I'll get a good laugh out of it.

The negative sign on the test statistic hints that it's going to be a value less than zero. I'll go with option C, just to be safe.

I agree with Shasta, because if the coefficient is less than zero, the test statistic should be negative
