Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
I is an assumption of the efficient markets hypothesis, not the CAPM. II is an assumption of the CAPM, as it assumes all investors plan for the same holding period. III is also an assumption of the CAPM, as it assumes all investors analyze securities in the same way and share the same economic view of the world. IV is an assumption of the CAPM, as it assumes all investors have the same level of risk aversion. Therefore, choices II, III, and IV are assumptions of the simple CAPM model.
