        Which of the following statement is least likely accurate regarding the efficient frontier?

        • A. A risk averse investor will only choose portfolios along the efficient
          frontier.
        • B. Portfolios that deliver the greatest return on each level of standard
          deviation make up the efficient frontier.
        • C. The graphic that shows the efficient frontier has the variance on its
          Y-axis.

          The correct answer is C.

          The graphic that demonstrates the efficient frontier has the standard deviation at its X-axis and the return on its Y-axis.

          Option A is a correct statement. Markowitz’s theory relies on the claim that risk-neutral investors tend to seek out portfolios on the efficient frontier. A risk-averse investor will choose a portfolio below the efficient frontier.

          Option B is a correct statement. Portfolios that deliver the greatest return on each level of standard deviation (or risk) make up the efficient frontier.
