D. provides a conclusive rejection of market efficiency and suggests that several strategies would have provided superior returns. E. None of the options are correct.

The answer is option A) The anomalies literature provides a conclusive rejection of market efficiency.

Explanation:

The anomalies literature provides evidence that a given assumption or model does not hold up in practice. The model can either be a relatively new or older model. In finance, two common types of anomalies are market anomalies and pricing anomalies.

Anomaly is a term describing an event where actual results differ from results that are expected or forecasted based on models.

Anomalies are empirical results that seem to be inconsistent with maintained theories of asset-pricing behavior.

They indicate either market inefficiency or inadequacies in the underlying asset-pricing model.

The anomalies literature provides a conclusive rejection of market efficiency.
