Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Greater chance of lower actual return than expected return and greater variation is indicated by larger standard deviation. The standard deviation is a statistic that measures the dispersion of a dataset relative to its mean and is calculated as the square root of the variance. The greater the standard deviation of securities, the greater the variance between each price and the mean, which shows a larger price range.
