Re: Answer
Selecting B greatly increases your standard deviation.
In a long tournament, this is offset by the increased liklihood of making it into the money due to the advantage conferred by starting out with a large stack. ie, you are increasing your risk for a higher EV.
However, in a short tournament, there will be fewer opportunities to take advantage of your stack. Thus, you will not be appreciably increasing your chances of finishing in the money. Therefore, you will be increasing risk without increasing return.
Thus, in a short tournament D is the correct choice.
