What could be the reason for a bond price to have declined from time you purchased it?

A. For an inverse floater, generally the price should decrease with an increase in reference rate.

• B. There is a fall in the required yield owing to a change in the yield on comparable bonds (i.e., a change in the yield required by the market).
• C. There is a change in the price of the bond selling at a discount, without any change in the required yield, simply because the bond is moving toward maturity.
• D. There is a fall in required yield resulting from an improvement in the credit quality of the issuer.
