Wait, I'm confused. Is this asking about the trustee's general investment duties, or something more specific? I want to make sure I understand the question properly before answering.

Okay, I've got this. The trustee's investment duties are governed by the terms of the trust instrument, state law, and the prudent person standard. I just need to figure out which of these options best captures that.
