3-Why is a T-bill considered risk-free as long as the US is considered by international markets to be a reliable debtor (i.e., default risk free)?

A)The term to maturity of a T-bill exempts it from any maturity-related risk. Furthermore, because T-bills are backed by the government and are very marketable, they do not carry other forms of risk (as long as international markets consider the US government as a reliable debtor).

B)T-bills are typically indexed for inflation, which allows the present value of their future cash flows to remain the same regardless of market fluctuations.

C)A T-bill is not considered risk free.

D)A T-bill is a long-term investment, so any market fluctuations balance out over time. Because the government issues T-bills, there is no risk of default.
