Answer:
C. A situation where no economic agent would benefit by changing his or her behavior
Explanation:
An economic equilibrium is when the agents are optimizing their decisions and opposing market forces are equal. This point allows the economic agents to maximize their utility and any change from this point will cause all agents to move away from potential maximum benefits.
In a natural equilibrium there is usually no government intervention so option A is false. Option B gives only one agent potential benefits and as such there is no equilibrium. Option D is conditional and may or may not happen as when the agents find missing information they would optimize again and move to an equilibrium.
Hope that helps.
