I feel like option A makes the most sense, but I’m a bit confused about how it ties into the overall demand for liquidity.

I practiced a similar question where it was about how borrowers choose between short and long-term loans. I think it was about lenders needing higher returns for longer commitments.

I remember liquidity preference theory suggests that investors prefer short-term securities due to lower risk, which might explain the upward slope.
