Answer:

4) no one individual has an advantage in the marketplace.

Step-by-step explanation:

Strong form efficiency in a market is defined as a situation where prices are already influenced by public and insider information.

No one person or group have an advantage as a result of insider information.

So they can't predict future price movements accurately.

Price is a function of market forces. Fundamental and technical analysis cannot be used as prediction tools.

In this situation no one individual has an advantage in the marketplace.
