(C) Co-joined Investments

Explanation:

As it has a ewer standard deviation than their peers.

It is a more reliable option if the investor is more risk averse.

At more standard deviation, there is more change of both, a higher return than expected or a lower return than expected. Therefore, a more risk-averse will go into less standard deviation while another who is willingly to take the risk will go with another fund which deviation is higher.
