    (B) Rosa is happy about the win even though she lost an equal amount.

    Explanation:

    A risk averse person is one that values protection of capital over gains. He believes that it is better to make small gains and preserve the capital, than to make big gains with the possibility of losing capital.

    Risk averse people favour low risk investment where returns are not spectacular and there is a near zero risk of losing capital.

    In this case Rosa will be happy that she preserved her capital of $1,000.
