Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": interest payments that vary by the yield to maturity each year.

Explanation:

Bonds are investments in the form of loans that companies provide. The firm pays investors a coupon yield, which is the annual or semiannual interest paid on the principal of the bond purchased. The payments continue until the bond reaches its maturity or the amount of the principal is completely paid off.
