Hi

Apologies but As per policy we will solve only first question here.

Weak form efficiency states that current stock price reflects all past information and data.

Semistrong form efficiency states that all public information is reflected in share price.

Strong form efficiency states that all public and private information is captured in stock price.

So based on the definition Weak form efficiency is correct answer here.

Thanks
