Statistics question. Null, alternative hypothesis

You are studying what proportion of SU students smoke.  The null hypothesis is p = 0.27, and the alternative hypothesis is p > 0.27.  Your study obtains a p-value of 0.001.  Using a significance level alpha = 0.01, this indicates:
a. There was sufficient evidence to conclude that 27% of SU students smoke.
b. There was not sufficient evidence to conclude that 27% of SU students smoke.
c. There was sufficient evidence to conclude that more than 27% of SU students smoke.
d. There was not sufficient evidence to conclude that more than 27% of SU students smoke.
