Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The present value of growth opportunities (PVGO) is indeed the difference between a stock's price and its no-growth value per share (I), is zero if its return on equity equals the discount rate because there are no excess returns to capitalize (III), and represents the net present value of favorable investment opportunities the company can undertake (IV).
