    d. bA < 0; bB = 0.

    Explanation:

    The possible answers that best describes the historical betas for A and B is bA < 0; bB = 0 because an average annual return for stock B is stable and constant, its beta would be zero. An average annual return for stock A is higher once market's average annual return is lower or lesser in which therefore indicates that its beta is negative.
