    (A) Expectations Theory

    Explanation:

    Expectations theory attempts to explain the term structure of interest rates by predicting what short-term interest rates will be in the future based on current long-term interest rates. This theory suggests that an investor earns the same amount of interest by investing in two consecutive one-year bond investments versus investing in one two-year bond today
