solution:B
Given two alternatives with the same expected return but different levels of risk (i.e., different standard deviations), the risk-neutral investor would be indifferent between the two alternatives, the risk-averse investor will select the alternative with less risk, and a risk-seeking investor would actually prefer (derive more utility from) the riskier alternative.
