    Solution

    Unsystematic risk is also known as specific risk or diversifiable risk. It is unique to a company or a particular industry. For example, strikes, lawsuits and such events that are specific to a company, and can to an extent be diversified away by other investments in the portfolio are unsystematic risk. Business risk, financial risks, operational risk are examples of diversifiable or unsystematic risks.
