On the basis of the information provided in the tables above, which of the following is TRUE? Hint: No calculations are required

Group of answer choices

A portfolio comprised of equal amounts of A & B has greater risk than a portfolio having equal amounts of B & C. However, both portfolios will have the same return

The Sharpe Ratio of a portfolio comprised of equal amounts of A & B is the same as the Sharpe ratio of a portfolio comprised of equal amounts of B & C since their returns and risks are the same.

A portfolio comprising A & B in any proportion (between 0% & 100%) will always have a return between 10% and 22%.

The correlation between A & B is greater than that of B & C.
