Generally expected return correlates positively with expected risk.
1) X has the best expected return (assuming Sharon weren't return-indifferent this isn't as silly as it sounds when you're dealing with OPM)
2) X has the lowest expected risk
3) Z has the highest expected risk
4) X may be considered Y and Z are non-starters compared to current holdings.
Note that this comparison applies merely if X, Y, and Z are all equally correlated to existing holdings. Z may win the race if it were orthogonal to current holdings while X and Y were not.
