Ah, I see what they're getting at. The future market for securities based on interest-rate movements is a dead giveaway. C) Interest rate options is the way to go here. Though I do wonder who comes up with these exam questions, they're a real interest-ing bunch!

I'm going with C) Interest rate options. It just makes the most sense based on the information provided. Though I have to admit, the 'limited trading' part is a bit confusing.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Interest rate options sound like the right answer, but the question mentions that the trading of these contracts is limited. Maybe B) Call Options would be a better choice?
