I definitely remember that the dirty price is higher than the clean price because it includes accrued interest. I think it's option B, but I should double-check my notes.

I feel like the dirty price has to do with the clean price plus something, but I can't recall if it's trading commissions or interest. I might need to think this one through.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think the dirty price includes the interest accrued since the last coupon payment. So, I might go with option B.

I think the dirty price is related to the clean price plus some interest, but I'm not sure if it's from the last coupon or until the next one.

The dirty price is the full amount the buyer pays, which includes the clean price plus any accrued interest. So the correct answer is B.
