d) none of the above.

 

I think a negative beta highly unlikely, however, since it would imply less risk than a risk free investment.

If we are going through formula, here we see,  ra =2rf - rm (when the Beta of -1)

 

I am just trying, I do not know much about CAPM. Maybe I am wrong.

Thank you.....
