A news flash just appeared that caused about a dozen stocks to suddenly drop in value by 20 percent. What type of risk does this news flash best represent?

The answer is an unsystematic risk. This is also known as a specific risk; this is a type of improbability that arises with the company or industry you capitalize in. This can be reduced through diversification. The best example for this is a drop in stocks like in this problem.
