    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A low PE (Price to Earnings) stock is considered better than a high PE stock because it indicates that the stock is relatively undervalued compared to its earnings. A low PE ratio suggests that the stock is priced lower in relation to its earnings, making it potentially a good investment opportunity. On the other hand, a high PE ratio implies that the stock is priced higher relative to its earnings, which may indicate that it is overvalued and potentially a riskier investment. Thus, it is generally preferred to invest in low PE stocks.
