I feel like I’ve seen a question about capital structure before, and I think bonds are higher up than equities, so C seems off.

I remember something about bonds being less risky than equities, but I can't recall if that relates to their issuers.

I feel like I should know this, but I'm drawing a blank. Is it something about the capital structure? Or the risk profile? Ugh, I need to review my notes on the differences between bonds and equities.

Okay, let me see. Bonds typically have a defined maturity, while equities are more open-ended. And bonds can be issued by a broader range of entities, not just publicly traded companies. I'm leaning towards B as the best answer here.
