B makes sense, swap valuations do fluctuate a lot.

Wait, C sounds off. How can exposure be negatively correlated to default?

A is definitely correct about counterparty credit risk.

I feel like B is the one that could be incorrect. The exposure at default being variable due to swap valuations makes sense, but I can't shake the feeling that there's something wrong with it.

I have a vague memory of dynamic collateral provisions increasing risk, but I'm not confident about that. D might be the incorrect one, but I need to think more about it.

I think I saw a similar question about exposure at default in practice exams. If I recall correctly, C seems off because exposure at default usually increases with higher probability of default.

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'.
