Explanation:
The correct answer is A because:
Capital Market Line (CML) represents portfolios that combine the market portfolio (which contains all risky assets) with the risk-free asset in varying proportions. It shows the risk-return trade-off for efficient portfolios that include the risk-free asset.
Efficient Frontier (EF) represents all possible combinations of efficient portfolios that contain only risky assets in varying proportions. It shows the optimal risk-return combinations without considering the risk-free asset.
The slope of the CML represents the market price of risk, showing the additional return per unit of additional risk that the market offers.

The difference between the capital market line (CML) and the efficient frontier (EF) is that:
A
The CML represents possible combinations of portfolios consisting of all possible proportions between the market portfolio and a risk-free asset while the EF represents all possible combinations of efficient portfolios, taking into account only risky assets in varying proportions.
B
The EF represents possible combinations of portfolios consisting of all possible proportions between the market portfolio and a risk-free asset while the CML represents all possible combinations of efficient portfolios, taking into account only risky assets in varying proportions.
C
The CML represents a few possible combinations of portfolios consisting of various proportions between the market portfolio and a risk-free asset while the EF represents all possible combinations of efficient portfolios, taking into account only risk-free assets in varying proportions.
D
The EF represents possible combinations of portfolios consisting of all possible proportions between the market portfolio and a risk-free asset while the CML represents all possible combinations of efficient portfolios, taking into account only risky assets in fixed proportions.
