Keyword: " Null Hypothesis," with "null" meaning none/void, which indicates that there is no statistical difference between the two groups. In this case, the null hypothesis is (B) that there is no statistical difference between the pH of the household cleaners. I would do a t - test for comparison of the means. (You could also do a computerized ANOVA test.)
Note: A is the alternate hypothesis
