Answer 1

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

This quote reflects the principle of investing that Higher risk usually offers a higher potential return. Savings accounts are probably the safest investments that an individual can make, where they hold their money in this account and the bank ensures this account while also providing interest on the amount held. This interest that is gained is extremely small and usually wouldn't even cover the average annual inflation rate. The average interest on these accounts is between 0.01% to 0.35% APY. Riskier investments have a much higher potential return from 7% APY to potentially above 100% APY.
