Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The figure shows a positive correlation between risk and return, indicating that the greater the risk, the greater the return. Points A and D do not provide enough information about standard deviation or asset allocation to make accurate statements about them, and a risk averse person may not necessarily choose point A as it depends on their individual risk preferences.
