Ans- D) As per Sharpe ratio theory, the greater a portfolio's/security's Sharpe ratio, the better its risk-adjusted-performance. As calculated above security B and portfolio C has a better sharpe ratio i.e. 0.29 but the return on portfolio C is higher than security B i.e 17% is higher than 14% so according to my findings I will invest in portfolio C.
