Which of the following statements about the Security Market Line are correct?
I. The intercept point is the market rate of return.
II. The slope of the line is beta.
III. An investor should accept any return located above the SML line.
IV. A beta of 0.0 indicates the risk-free rate of return

a. None of the above
b. Security Market Line
c. Stock Market Equilibrium
d. Inflation Risk
