b. can be larger, smaller, or equal to the number of degrees of freedom for the denominator.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distribution of all possible values of the f statistic is called an F distribution with various degree of freedom. For an F distribution, the F statistic is greater than or equal to zero and as the degrees of freedom for the numerator and for the denominator get larger, the curve approximates the normal.

For an F distribution, the number of degrees of freedom for the numerator can be larger, smaller, or equal to the number of degrees of freedom for the denominator.
