Choice A includes ETFs and A-REITs, which are specific types of assets that may or may not be included in a balanced fund. Choice B includes money market securities, which provide low-risk, short-term cash holdings, and real estate, which may be included in a balanced fund but is not a typical holding. Choice C includes equities, which are common in balanced funds, but commodity derivatives are a more specialized and volatile asset class that may not be appropriate for all investors.
