Answer:

The second option is the correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

From  the question we are told that

    The  sample  proportion is  $\r p = 0.35$

The  Null Hypothesis is  $H_o : \r p = 0.35$

The reason for this is that the this original claim when represented mathematically does not contain an equality sign ($i.e \ it \ is \ mathematically \ represented \ as \ \r p < 0.35$)  so the null hypothesis is the compliment of it ( i.e  $\r p = 0.35$)

The  Alternative hypothesis is  $H_a : \r p < 0.35$
