Investments believed to be unpredictable are more risky.
Explanation: Risk is largely about the uncertainty/unpredictability of outcomes. The more unpredictable an investment's returns, the higher its risk. (The other statements are false or misleading: there is a connection between risk and return; demand is usually lower for higher-risk investments unless compensated by higher expected returns; and while longer horizons can reduce some types of risk for certain assets, that’s not a universal rule.)
