By definition, a Type II error is the event where you've failed to reject the null (and consequently have to "accept" it), but the alternate is actually the correct choice.

So the answer is B)

Notes: choices A and C lead to a correct choice, which means no errors are committed. So we can eliminate choices A and C. Choice D is a type I error. So we can also eliminate D
