I vaguely remember that the spreads should reflect the risk differences, so I’m leaning towards option C, but I’m not confident.

I feel like I might have seen an example where Bond Y had a spread of zero. Could that be an option here?

I think Bond X should have a positive spread, but I'm not sure about Bond Y. Negative spreads seem unusual.
