Answer:

Market equilibrium does reaches Pareto optimality.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are no externalities, then we don't have market failure or competitive market equilibrium reaches Pareto optimum. This is a situation, where it is not possible to make things better for someone without making it worse for someone else.
