Answer:

d

Explanation:

Systemic risk is measured by beta. The higher beta is, the higher the systemic risk and the higher the compensation demanded for by investors

The portfolio's beta can be determined by adding together the weighted beta of each stock in the portfolio

weighted beta of a stock = percentage of the stock in the portfolio x beta of the stock  

weighted  beta of Dr Pepper Snapple Group stock = (200 / 350) x -0.11 = -0.062857.

weighted  beta of Home Depot shares = (100/350) x 1.21 =  0.345714

weighted  beta of Tesla Motors shares= (50/350) x 1.4 =  0.2

0.2 + 0.345714 -0.062857. = 0.4828
