Answer:

A Real risk-free rate differences.  

B Tax effects.  

C Default risk differences.  

D Maturity risk differences.  

E Inflation differences.  

The correct answer is option C,default risk differences.

Macro-economic factors and some others.

Liquidity refers to the ability of the company to settle obligations such as repayment of bonds and interest  when due.

Invariably,liquidity has a higher impact in determining credit rating as well as default risk of an instrument.

Autonomy vs. shame and doubt is Erikson's term for the period during which toddlers (aged 18 months to 3 years) develop independence and autonomy if they are allowed the freedom to explore, or shame and self-doubt if they are restricted and overprotected. In this stage, they develop an important virtue of “will” where their parents play a major role in molding such quality. For example, they can learn at this stage on how to go to the toilet on their own or even clothe themselves.
