Homework Answers
Answer: Option A is correct.
Returns on two stocks move perfectly in sync with each other means
that, if one stock is giving negative return, other will also give
negative return and vice versa. Diversification minimizes the risk
of loss, but here the risk maximizes when both the stocks give
negative returns.
