A Type I error is:

A. incorrectly specifying the null hypothesis.
B. rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true.
C. incorrectly specifying the alternative hypothesis.
D. accepting the null hypothesis when it is false.

Type I error, also known as a “false positive” is the error of rejecting a null  hypothesis when it is actually true. Can be interpreted as the error of no reject an  alternative hypothesis when the results can be  attributed not to the reality.  

Type II error, also known as a "false negative" is the error of not rejecting a null  hypothesis when the alternative hypothesis is the true. Can be interpreted as the error of failing to accept an alternative hypothesis when we don't have enough statistical power.  

Solution to the problem

Based on the defnitions above we can conclude that the best answer for this case is:

B. rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".  

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".  

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".
