13. Sharpe ratio measures the return over the risk free risk adjusted for the total risk. In other words, Sharpe ratio is the average return earned in excess of risk free rate per unit of total risk.
Since for the question, we are looking at the total risk of investment, the higher Sharpe ratio, the better it is.
Investment A with a Sharpe ratio of 0.70 would be best choice considering total risk of the investment.
