d. None of the above is correct.

Explanation:

lenders and borrowers are the same.

both are the company who issue the bonds

(B) FALSE

the long-term bond pays a higher interest rate than short term bonds

junk bonds refer to bond with a higher chance of default, regardless of the times had been sold
