This is a classic case of 'the more you know, the more you realize you don't know'. I'm going with D) Default correlations, but I'm open to being corrected if I'm missing something!

Haha, if only the answer was 'E) Horoscope correlations' - that would really spice things up! But seriously, I agree that D) Default correlations is the way to go here.

I was debating between C) Equity correlations and D) Default correlations, but I ultimately went with D. Seems like the more direct approach for this kind of analysis.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be A) Credit migration matrices. It's important to consider the movement of credit ratings.
