Mudd was recently hired by Contis Capital Management as an education consultant for company defined contribution plans. Mudd’s role at the firm will be developing educational content and delivering that content to company employees to help them learn about their retirement plan. Jim Contis, the owner of the firm specializes in investment management, but makes the following statements to Mudd as she starts her new job:

Statement 1: Individuals in defined contribution retirement plans need to be educated about the concepts of risk and return, but once they understand investing, individuals tend to make investment decisions that are in their own best interests.

Statement 2: Once an individual investor in a defined contribution plan has attained a basic knowledge about investment concepts, they typically follow through on monitoring and making adjustments to their retirement plan.

With regard to Contis’ statements, Mudd should:

a) disagree with Statements 1 and 2.
b) agree with Statement 1, but disagree with Statement 2.
c) agree with both statements.
