A) The estimated market value of a property depends upon the particular investor.
B) The most reliable real estate valuation method is the cost approach.

Correct answer is C)
The market value is completely independent of any considerations based upon the investor or potential investor. There is not a “most reliable” valuation method – all have their advantages and disadvantages. The investment value may be dependent upon the planned use of the property—remember that market value and investment value are two different things.
