Answer:

is greater than the hurdle rate.

Explanation:

other options are wrong because:

equates the present value of the project's cash inflows with the present value of the project's cash outflows ⇒ this is the definition of IRR

is greater than zero ⇒ if the project yields any profit, its IRR should be higher than 0

is less than the firm's cost of investment capital ⇒ the firm's NPV would be negative

is greater than the project's net present value ⇒ this simply doesn't make sense
