Why would a mutual fund, a collection of stocks, bonds, and other securities, have less risk than investing in stocks alone?

A
Stocks are higher risk than most other securities in a mutual fund, but when averaged with the risk of the other securities, mutual fund risk is not as high as stock risk.
B
Mutual funds are controlled primarily by their investors, and those investors would do anything they could to keep their mutual fund from decreasing in value.
C
Because mutual funds eliminate the middle man, there is far less room for error and higher chance for greater profit.
