Using CAPM model,    
     
Er = Rf+ (Rm-Rf)*B    
     
where,    
Er = Required return of the stock  
Rm-Rf= Market risk premium  
B= Beta of the stock    
     
Therefore,    
Er = 0.02 + (0.08)*1.4    
     = 0.02 + 0.112    
     = 0.132 or 0.13    
     
Therefore, option d is the correct answer.
