Explanation:

A Type II error occurs when the null hypothesis is false, but we fail to reject it. In other words, it's an error of omission - we should have rejected the null hypothesis, but we didn't.

Let's look at the options:

A. It is the probability of incorrectly rejecting the null hypothesis - This describes a Type I error, not a Type II error.

B. It is equivalent to the power of the test - The power of a test is the probability of correctly rejecting a false null hypothesis. It's the complement of a Type II error, but it's not the same as a Type II error.

C. It is equivalent to the size of the test - The size of the test (also known as the significance level) is the maximum probability of a Type I error that we are willing to accept. It's not related to a Type II error.

D. It is the probability of failing to reject a null hypothesis that was wrong - This correctly describes a Type II error.		 D

A Type II error occurs when the null hypothesis is not rejected despite it being false. This means failing to detect an effect or difference when one actually exists. The correct answer is D: It is the probability of failing to reject a null hypothesis that was wrong.		 D
