A

Investor X has a steep indifference curve, indicating that he is risk-averse. Flatter indifference curves, such as those for Investor Y, indicate a less risk-averse investor. The other choices are true. A more risk-averse investor will likely obtain lower returns than a less risk-averse investor.
