C. Fairly priced

Explanation: use the equation of calculating Capital Asset Pricing Model CAPM

ER=Rf+βi (ERm-Rf)

where:

ER = expected return of investment = ?

Rf=risk-free rate = 4%

βi=beta of the investment = 1.1

(ERm-Rf) = market risk premium = (10% - 4%)

Therefore ER=Rf+βi (ERm-Rf)

= 4% + 1.1 (10% - 4%)

=10.6%

therefore, the security is fairly priced
