Correct Answer: Equity bond

Solution : The correct answer is (d). Equity bond

Bonds are fixed-income securities that represent a loan made by an investor to a borrower. They typically have fixed interest payments (coupon payments) and a maturity date at which the principal amount is repaid. The issuer of the bond can be a government, corporation, or other entity.

Equity bond is not a recognized term or type of bond. "Equity" typically refers to ownership or shares in a company. Bonds represent debt, while equity represents ownership. Therefore, an "equity bond" would not be a valid classification within the bond market.
