Explanation:

Variable investments have returns/values that fluctuate based on underlying market assets.

1. Variable annuities: Tied to market investment options, so value varies.
2. Common stocks: Value depends on company performance and market conditions, highly variable.
3. Mutual funds: Pool money into diverse market assets, value fluctuates with markets.

Savings accounts have fixed, low-interest returns, and corporate bonds have fixed coupon payments, so they are not variable investments.
