The ANOVA template has
dfBetween = k-1
dfWithin = N-k
The "between" version is always listed first since it's higher up in the table.
The order for the df values is important when dealing with the F statistic. Option A of the four choices is a trick answer.

Note: "between" is sometimes replaced with "factor"; "within" is sometimes replaced with "error".
