The correct answer is:
**a. markets reflect all available information in a rational way.**
This is consistent with the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH), which suggests that stock prices fully reflect all available information, leading to a random walk in prices. Under this theory, any new information that affects stock prices is quickly and rationally incorporated, meaning past price movements do not predict future price movements.
