I'm cracking up at the idea of 'dynamic collateral provisions' increasing counterparty risk. That's like saying 'fire extinguishers increase the risk of fire'.

D all the way! Dynamic collateral provisions? Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Who comes up with these exam questions anyway?

Hmm, this is a tough one. I'm going to have to go with C. The exposure at default can be negatively correlated to probability of default. Sounds counterintuitive, but it makes sense if you think about it.

I'm going with B. The exposure at default is variable due to fluctuations in swap valuations. Seems pretty straightforward.

I think the correct answer is D. Dynamic collateral provisions often increase counterparty risk considerably. That just doesn't make sense to me.
