Answer 1

Answer:

A. Factors associated with market risk.

Explanation:

Inflation, recession, and high-interest rates are economic events that all investors need to be aware of. Diversification can lower these risks, but does not eliminate them. They generally are beyond the control of investors, but they should always be considered by security analysis, portfolio managers, and stockbrokers. They are not irrelevant in any way, shape, or form. Everything done with stocks, bonds, and mutual funds should be coordinated based on inflation, recessions, and high interest rates.
