Solution

The correct answer is c. In the risk-adjusted discount rate approach to account for risk, the cost of capital is greater than the risk-free rate and rises with increasing risk. This is because the riskier the investment, the higher the return an investor will demand. This higher return is reflected in a higher cost of capital.
