I think I've got a handle on this. The data shows the debt-to-equity ratios, which should give me a good sense of the capital structure. Then I can use that to assess the relative business risk. Time to put my analytical skills to work!

I'm a bit confused by the terminology here. What exactly do they mean by "business risk" and "capital structure"? I'll need to make sure I understand those concepts before I can answer this.
