Explanation

The efficient frontier represents the set of optimal portfolios that offer the maximum expected return for a given level of risk. A point ON the efficient frontier is considered optimal. Point B lies directly on the efficient frontier curve, meaning it achieves the highest achievable return for its specific risk level. Point A typically falls below the frontier (suboptimal - achievable but not maximizing return), and Point C typically lies above the frontier (unachievable given real-world constraints). Therefore, B represents the best risk-return balance among the given options.
