Based on this, S0 is 900,000. But then you do want to proceed to ln(S0).

This was my logic:
Pr(St/S0>1.111) -> P(St>S0 * 1.111) -> P(ln(St) > ln(S0*1.111))

now, using S0=900,000, and normalizing this probability gives option C the smallest probability, which was the right answer...

What's wrong with my idea?

I stand corrected. I meant S0. Honestly.
