Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: D) Risk is a measure of the uncertainty surrounding the return that an investment will earn.

Explanation:

Investment risk refers to the probability of losing an investment.  It measures the uncertainty level of earning returns from an investment.

When an investor anticipates a higher risk, he will expect higher returns. On the contrary, low risk investments (e.g. T-Bills) offer very low yields.
