✅ Correct Option: 4

Stock	Opening	Close	High	Low	Trend
A	2200	1800	2400	1200	Bearish
B	2000	1700	2000	1400	Bearish
C	800	1200	1400	800	Bullish
D	500	1000	1200	300	Bullish
E	1300	1100	1400	1100	Bearish
F	1800	1600	2000	1200	Bearish
G	1200	1700	1900	1000	Bullish

For stock F:

$\small\dfrac{2000-1200}{\text{avg}(1800,1600)}=\small\dfrac{800}{1700}=\small\dfrac{8}{17}$

For stock A:

$\small\dfrac{2400-1200}{\text{avg}(2200,1800)}=\small\dfrac{1200}{2000}=\small\dfrac{3}{5}$

For stock D:

$\small\dfrac{1200-300}{\text{avg}(500,1000)}=\small\dfrac{900}{750}=\small\dfrac{6}{5}$

For stock C:

$\small\dfrac{1400-800}{\text{avg}(800,1200)}=\small\dfrac{600}{1000}=\small\dfrac{3}{5}$

From this, stock D has the highest SPV.
