Explanation:

Risk appetite is the amount and type of risk that an organization is willing to accept in pursuit of its objectives2.It reflects the organization's risk culture and strategy, and guides the risk assessment, response, and reporting processes3.In this case, the decision to invest in a stock that could have a high expected return rate without taking any risk mitigation activities illustrates a high risk appetite, as the organization is willing to accept a high level of uncertainty and volatility for a potential reward4.
