To assess the likelihood of a polynomial-time algorithm for an NP-complete problem being published by 2030, we should consider the progress in computer science and developments in theoretical computer science in recent years.

The P vs NP problem is one of the most famous open problems in theoretical computer science, and a resolution either way would have a significant impact on various fields such as cryptography, optimization, and artificial intelligence. It has so far remained unresolved since its introduction in the 1970s. While researchers have made progress in understanding the complexity of various computational problems, they have not yet discovered a polynomial-time algorithm for any NP-complete problem.

Considering that my training data only goes up to September 2021, I am not able to provide insights on recent advances in complexity theory or breakthroughs that may have happened between 2021 and 2023. However, given the historical trajectory, the likelihood of finding a polynomial-time algorithm for an NP-complete problem within the next seven years still seems low.

With a current probability of 4.14%, the market may already reflect some of the uncertainties surrounding this prediction. I am inclined to slightly disagree with this probability, as I think it may be too optimistic given the historical context. However, as the disparity between my assessment and the market probability is not large, I would not place a sizable bet. Therefore, I would choose the following option:
