C. An investment with a beta above -1.62, adding risk while adjusting for the risk-free of 3% rate
D. An investment with a long-term expected return greater than 11%, because high return investments always increase the risk of the portfolio
E. An investment with a beta above 1.2, because these have higher risk than the portfolio as a whole
