Answer: Option D

Explanation

This is something to memorize.
One way to help remember this is to generate an ANOVA table using something like Statdisk, SPSS, or SAS.
Of these 3, Statdisk is probably the most user friendly. It works right out of the box without any download, installation or login needed.
Or if you want to use a TI84 then check out this article

There are many more options to pick from.

Part of the ANOVA table result will be the F test statistic, which is often simply labeled "F".
