Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The correct answer is D) Liquidity risk premium. This is because when investors are uncertain about their ability to quickly sell a corporate bond (or any asset), they perceive it as less liquid. To compensate for this liquidity risk—the risk that they may not be able to sell the asset quickly without a significant price concession—they demand a higher yield, which is referred to as a liquidity risk premium.
