I think the answer is D, but I’m second-guessing myself. I remember practicing with different yields, and this one feels tricky!

I vaguely recall that the yield to call can be higher than the yield to maturity if the bond is called early. I’m leaning towards option C, but I’m not confident.

I’m not entirely sure how to calculate it, but I think it involves the bond's call price and interest payments. I feel like I’ve seen a question like this before.

I remember YTC is similar to YTM but focuses on the call date instead. I think it might be around 10% based on what I practiced.
