Which of the following bonds has the highest interest rate?

A) A high credit risk and a short term
B) A low credit risk and a short term
C) A long term and a high credit risk
D) A long term and a low credit risk

Bonds with a high credit risk (or lower credit quality) typically offer higher interest rates to compensate investors for the increased risk of default. Additionally, long-term bonds generally offer higher interest rates than short-term bonds to compensate for the increased risk over time, including inflation risk and the uncertainty of future economic conditions. Therefore, a bond that is both long-term and has a high credit risk would offer the highest interest rate among the options provided.
