The junk bonds which are rated lower than triple B are also classified as _________?

Correct answer: A. high yield bonds

  • A. high yield bonds
  • B. low yield bonds
  • C. zero floating bonds
  • D. high floating rate bonds

Explanation

Junk bonds are below investment grade, commonly rated below BBB or Baa, and are therefore called high-yield bonds because investors demand greater returns for their higher default risk. "Low yield" would contradict this risk-return relationship.
