The answer is a. The "invention" sought to be patented is actually a living creature.
Explanation:
That is the answer. Because by the law, you actually "CAN" patent a living creature or an organism that you invented and that does not exist naturally.
So, a patent application CAN NOT be denied on the grounds that the invention is a living thing.
However, if a plant or any organism exists in nature and has reproduced, then it cannot be patented. Because then it has become a natural occurrence. This is a stern limitation and a criteria put on patents for living organisms.
Patenting living organism such as anti bacteria and bacteria is common in pharmaceutical industry while patenting unique seed types are common in agricultural sector.

Answer: will be above the coupon rate
Explanation:
The Coupon rate is a fixed rate that a bond issuer pays to it's bond holders. The <em>Current Yield</em> however is calculated by dividing the Coupon payment by the Price of the bond.
When Market interest rises above the Coupon Rate, the price of the bond decreases in the market and vice versa.
Because the price of the bond is now less and it is the divisor of the Coupon rate to get the Yield, it will give a higher percentage which will be more than the Coupon rate.
High risk, high returns. The higher the risk of an investment, the higher the returns or losses.
Speculative stocks investment is a high risk investment. It offers the possibility of earning substantial returns to compensate for its high risk profile.
Retirement plans are investments made in preparation for retirement. These investments have minimal risks compared to speculative stocks.
Property investments are low in risk but it is still subject to risk.
A-rated bonds are bonds that are credible and are expected to give a return to investors.
Based on my understanding, the correct order of investment from the least risky to the most risky is:
1) property
2) A-rated bonds
3) retirement plans
4) Speculative stocks.
