Step-by-step explanation:

Given are four options and we have to decide which option is false.

a) False. 95% Conf interval will be average return plus or minus 1.96 times standad errors.

b) True. Because std deviation of average return is the standard error.

c) True. From past history we can estimate its actual expected return.

d) True. Because standard error to average return is equivalent to standard deviation for a variable.
