Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Junk bonds which are rated lower than triple B are also classified as high yield bonds. A high-yield bond is a high paying bond with a lower credit rating than investment-grade corporate bonds, Treasury bonds and municipal bonds. Because of the higher risk of default, these bonds pay a higher yield than investment grade bonds.
