The assumption for conducting this hypothesis test is that the samples are independent and drawn from normally distributed populations. The statement does not provide any information about the shape of the distributions or the relationship between the values in the groups. The difference in sample variances is not used to test these hypotheses. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
