    a) Correlation is the expected product of the deviations of two returns.

    Explanation:

    Correlation is represented using the symbol ρ

    Well the term correlation is derived from co variance and standard deviation of two.

    It is in the form of a divided by b

    Where a = co variance of the returns.

    And b = Product of the standard deviation of the two.

    Thus, it is just not the product of deviations.

    Therefore, the statement in question is false.
