Round your answer to two decimal places Is it possible that most investors might regard Stock B as being less risky than Stock A? 1. If Stock B is less highly correlated with the market than A then it might have a higher beta than Stock A, and hence be more risky in a portfolio sense 11. If Stock B is more highly correlated with the mariet than A then it might have a higher beta than Stock A, and hence be less risky in a portfolio sense III. I Stock B is more highly correlated with the market than A then it might have a lower beta thon Stock A, and hence be less risky in a portfolio sense IV. 11 Stock B is more highly correlated with the market than A, then it might have the same beta as Stock A, and hence be just as risky in a portfolio sense V. Stock B is less highly correlated with the market than A, then it might have a lower beta than Stock A, and hence be less risky in a portfolio sense, -Select- c. Assume the risk-free rate is 4,5%.
