Question with Asset Allocation finding, solution, generated, maintain, investment

ikoreaii

I am using the Elan guide and I am finding a lot of errors with their solutions but i just want to double check with AF
14. Capital preservation least likely means that investors:
A. Want to minimize their risk of loss
B. Want to supplement their earning with income generated in their portfolio
C. Seek to maintain the purchasing power of their investment
I got B but the solution manual says A
Can someone clarify it for me just to make sure? Thanks

Its a definite error. Their solutions file implies that B defines the total return objective and is the correct answer. You can just email them or check the errata when you’re unsure of something.

the only reason i would be able to come up with for A is that all rational investors want to minimize the risk of loss…i would probly have picked B myself though.
