Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Old market price of stock = $15

New market price of stock = $18

Here, we assume that EPS be $5.

So,

Price-earning ratio at old price = \frac{Market\ Price}{EPS}

                                                   =  \frac{15}{5}

                                                   = 3

Price-earning ratio at New price = \frac{Market\ Price}{EPS}

                                                   =  \frac{18}{5}

                                                   = 3.6

Hence, price-earnings ratio increases.
