A) There is definitely no significant difference between the groups at alpha = 0.05.
B) There is likely no significant difference between the groups at alpha = 0.05, but a formal hypothesis test should still be conducted to make sure.
C) There is definitely a significant difference between the groups at alpha = 0.05.
