d. Portfolio P has a standard deviation that is less than 25%

Explanation:

This answer is correct because whenever 2 stocks have a correlation of less than 1 , a portfolio consisting of these 2 stocks will always have a standard deviation less than the standard deviation of the stocks standard deviation added according to their weight in the portfolio, so in this case both stocks have a weight of 50% and standard deviation of 25% so their sum will be

(0.5*25%) +( 0.5*25%)= 25%, so the portfolio standard deviation will be less than 25%.
