Correct answer: "The lord would have more to lose, in terms of wealth and property."

Explanation: Invaders target wealthy, high-value individuals (for plunder, ransom, or to seize land), so a lord is at least as much a target as a peasant. The other statements are false or misleading: a lord typically has more protection and better arms/retainers than a peasant, and while a lord might sometimes provoke invaders, the primary reason he's in as much danger is his greater wealth and status.
