Final Answer : A, Explanation :  To be 99% confident that a Type I error has not been committed, the p value should be set at 0.01 or lower. This means that there is only a 1% chance that the results are due to random chance, rather than a true effect. Choosing a higher significance level (such as 0.05 or 0.10) increases the likelihood of committing a Type I error.
