I'm going with C) Risk neutral. Minimax regret is all about playing it safe, not about taking big risks. Though I do like the idea of 'risk spreading' - maybe they should call it the 'don't put all your eggs in one basket' criterion.

B) Risk seeking? Really? I don't see how trying to minimize your maximum regret is the same as being a risk-taker. That's a bit of a stretch.

D) Risk spreading? That's an interesting one. I wonder if the minimax regret method could be considered a form of risk diversification.

That makes sense, they are not necessarily seeking risk but trying to avoid regret. So, risk neutral could be the right answer.

I disagree, I believe they would be risk neutral because they are trying to minimize their maximum regret.

C) Risk neutral, definitely. The minimax regret approach doesn't seem to have a preference for risk, it's just trying to make the safest choice.

I think the answer is A) Risk averse. The minimax regret criterion is all about minimizing the maximum potential regret, which seems pretty risk-averse to me.
