This is why I clarified I wasn't talking about prophecy, to eliminate #2. I can show you where in the OT the author of Mark got the material for the part about Jesus and the fig tree. This isn't any sort of prediction but a trivial bit of 'history'.
Therefore, answering your question, to me it's almost undeniable that it's a fabrication.
