Average return in excess of the benchmark (average active return): 0.6%
Volatility of active returns: 1.7%

A
The manager's average active return is below 2%, therefore the manager breached the limit.
B
The manager's average return in excess of the risk-free interest rate is below 2%, therefore the manager breached the limit.
C
The volatility of active returns achieved by the manager is below 2%, therefore the manager did not breach the limit.
