    B) Project B has below-average risk and an IRR = 8.5 percent.

    Explanation:

    Since the evaluation is based on IRR, use IRR rule that says you accept a project if its IRR > Cost of capital (WACC in this case)

    Project A's IRR of 9% is < 10% WACC for average risk projects hence reject it.

    Project B's IRR of 8.5% is > 8% WACC for below - average risk projects hence accept it.

    Project C's IRR of 11% is < 12% WACC for above - average risk projects hence reject it.
