b.The yield on the 5-year T-bond must exceed the yield on the 5-year AAA corporate bond.

c.The yield on the 5-year AAA corporate bond must exceed the yield on 5-year B corporate bond.

d.The yield on the 10-year T-bond must be less than the yield on a 2-year T-bond.

e.The yield on the 5-year T-bond must exceed the yield on the 10-year AAA corporate bond.
