Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Answer: It is best to use the standard deviation when describing the risk of an isolated stock or even a portfolio that is not well-diversified. It is best to use the beta of a stock to describe its risk when it is not isolated but is instead a part of a well-diversified portfolio. When it is mixed with other stocks, its fluctuations will cancel out some of the other stocks' fluctuations, thereby reducing the overall volatility of the portfolio. So a stock that looks risky by itself may very well make your portfolio safer, depending on its correlation with all the other stocks in your portfolio.
