PM - higher growth rates in earnings for cyclical companies coming out of a recession

Hi all, Why answer C is incorrect?

When assessing investment opportunities in equities, investors should:

  1. assign higher equity risk premiums to non-cyclical companies, relative to cyclical companies.
  2. forecast lower volatility in the growth rate of earnings for cyclical companies, relative to non-cyclical companies.
  3. forecast higher growth rates in earnings for cyclical companies coming out of a recession, relative to non-cyclical companies
