    False

    Explanation:

    Portfolio B will still carry the market's systematic risk (the risk that affects the whole market). Its risk will always be much lower than portfolio A's risk, which includes the market's systematic risk + the stock's risk.

    Portfolio B's rate of return will be equal to the market's rate of return.
