Which of the following lists correctly ranks investments from highest to lowest returns and risk (thus, the highest risk security should be shown first, the lowest risk securities shown last)?

Over the past 75 years, we have observed that investments with the highest average annual returns also tend to have the highest standard deviations of their annual returns. This observation supports the notion that there is a positive correlation between risk and return. Which of the following lists correctly ranks investments from highest to lowest returns and risk (thus, the highest risk security should be shown first, the lowest risk securities shown last)? A) small-company stocks, large-company stocks, long-term corporate bonds, long-term government bonds, U.S. Treasury bills B) small-company stocks, long-term corporate bonds, large-company stocks, long-term government bonds, U.S.... click for more
