-Referring to Instruction 13.30,at the 0.01 level of significance,what conclusion should the builder draw regarding the inclusion of Income in the regression model?

• A) Income is not significant in explaining house size and should not be included in the model because its p-value is more than 0.01.
• B) Income is significant in explaining house size and should be included in the model because its p-value is more than 0.01.
• C) Income is not significant in explaining house size and should not be included in the model because its p-value is less than 0.01.
• D) Income is significant in explaining house size and should be included in the model because its p-value is less than 0.01.
