-Which of the following statements is FALSE?

• A)Because all other risk is diversifiable,it is an investment's beta with respect to the efficient portfolio that measures its sensitivity to systematic risk,and therefore determines its cost of capital.
• B)If a security's expected return exceeds its required return given our current portfolio,then we can improve the performance of our portfolio by adding more of the security.
• C)The appropriate risk premium for an investment can be determined from its beta with the efficient portfolio.
• D)As we buy shares of a security i,its correlation with our portfolio P will increase,ultimately raising its required return until E[R_i] = R_p.
