Explanation

Market Value Added (MVA) specifically measures the excess of the market value of a company over the capital invested in it. MVA = Market Value of Firm - Total Capital Invested, showing how much value management has created beyond what investors originally contributed. Option C describes Economic Value Added (EVA), which is different from MVA.
