Answer:C. Smaller stock have lower volatility than larger stock.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volatility refers to the prones of a stock price to changes in market conditions. The higher the impact of changes in market conditions on a stock the higher the volatility level and the lower the impact of changes in market conditions on a stock price the lower the volatility. However the size of a stock does not necessarily determine the level of his volatility, a

stock may be small but still have a large volatility level and stock may be large and have low volatility level.
