Answer:

C) prohibited as a likely exaggeration

Explanation:

The statement being made by the adviser is prohibited as a likely exaggeration. An investment adviser has the moral obligation to advise the client so that they may increase their wealth safely through informed decisions. This does not include exaggerated price predictions. Regardless of past performance, an adviser cannot state that an asset will double in the near future or in the future in general because no one can know what will happen in the future and making such a prediction can be dangerous for the client.
