Answer :

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

c.  While long-term bonds have more risks associated with them, they have the potential to bring in higher returns for the initial investment.

The disadvantage of short-term bonds is that they pay lower interest rates than long-term bonds. Long term bonds have a greater chance of getting higher rates as there is a greater probability that with time, the interest rates increase. Long term bonds are generally those, that people keep for almost 10 years.
