The probability of not rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true (i.e. accepting the null hypothesis) is known as the Type II error. The complement of this probability is the confidence level, which represents the probability that the null hypothesis is true and not rejected based on the sample data. Therefore, option D - P(not rejecting H₀ | H₀ is true) - gives the confidence coefficient.
