Which of the following statements regarding the Law of One Price is INCORRECT?

A)At any point in time,the price of two equivalent goods trading in different competitive markets will be the same.

C)If equivalent goods or securities trade simultaneously in different competitive markets,then they will trade for the same price in both markets.
D)An important property of the Law of One Price is that it holds even in markets where arbitrage is not possible.
