Solution

The correct answer is:

c. proportionate to the stock's beta.

The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) states that the expected return on an investment is equal to the risk-free rate plus the investment's beta (its sensitivity to market movements) times the expected market risk premium (the expected return on the market portfolio minus the risk-free rate). Therefore, a stock's expected risk premium should be proportionate to its beta.
