C is just plain wrong. The Mann-Whitney test is more powerful than the t-test, not less. Clearly, D is the way to go too.

I believe the Mann-Whitney test is powerful because it can handle non-normal data and is robust to outliers.

The Mann-Whitney test is definitely the way to go when you're testing the identity of two populations. A and B are spot on!

I agree with Terrilyn, because it focuses on testing the identity of two populations and is more widely applicable than the traditional t-test.
