Solution and Explanation

Unsystematic risk, also known as specific or diversifiable risk, is the risk that affects a particular company or industry. It arises due to internal company problems or sectoral issues, independent of market-wide factors. Causes of Unsystematic Risk:

Managerial inefficiency or poor governance
Labor strikes or supply chain disruptions
Regulatory changes affecting a specific sector
Sudden product failure or lawsuits
Unlike systematic risk, unsystematic risk can be minimized or eliminated by holding a diversified portfolio of assets from different industries and sectors.
