The more worried investors are about losing their money, the more they

I have chosen B for this question:

This question is looking for an example to match the relationship between high risk and high reward.

A. The relationship between high risk and high reward is not mentioned here. Although "very risky investments" is mentioned, there really is no mention of high rewards. You might argue that successful investors obtain "high rewards," but this is not necessarily true because successful investors could obtain many small rewards and still be successful.

B. This answer choice clearly shows an example of the relationship between high risk and high rewards. If you are an individual buying a bond in a company, it would be less risky for the bond to be backed by collateral than without collateral. Therefore, the higher risk bond would yield higher interests rates and the lower risk bonds (backed by collateral) would yield lower interest rates.

C. First of all, we are introducing a "time of inflation," which is a bit suspicious to me. Although these questions can bring in "outside" information, by saying "in times of inflation," we are not sure whether this is a time of high or low risk. Also, the remaining part of this answer choice does not express the relationship of high risk and high reward.

D. This statement actually weakens the argument because it contradicts the main relationship. By saying that some banks have a single interest rate for all individuals, you are ignoring the fact that individuals have different risk levels.

E. This also contradicts the main argument. It states that new companies (typically higher risk) have a lower potential return on investment than companies are lower risk.
