In a bubble chart Pearls are the potential stars because they have a high potential payoff, but a low likelihood of success.
Correct Answer: B
In a bubble chart used for portfolio management, "Pearls" are projects that have both high potential payoff and a high likelihood of success. They are typically considered to be excellent investment opportunities due to their promising prospects. Projects with a high potential payoff but a low likelihood of success are typically classified as "Oysters." Thus, the correct answer is B: False.
