d) the holding period return and annualized return will always be identical.

Explanation:

Holding period return measures the return which accrue due to holding of securities or any asset for a given period of time and annualized return is the rate of return which we get due to the asset after annualizing it on yearly basis. For a security having fluctuating market price these two differ but for a security that has continuously increased in value, both are always identical.
