I feel like I’ve seen something similar before, and I think the incorrect statement might be D. Floating rate bonds still have interest rate risk, just less than fixed ones.

I’m a bit confused about C and D. I thought floating rate bonds were sensitive to interest rate changes, but D says they only have a small degree of risk, which seems contradictory.

I think I saw a practice question where it mentioned that floating rate bonds have less price risk, which makes me lean towards B being true.

I remember studying that floating rate bonds adjust their coupons based on interest rates, so A seems correct.
