This is a tricky one. I'm going to have to do some more research on the pricing conventions for different fixed-income instruments.

I'm pretty sure it's Treasury bills, since they're often quoted at a discount to par value.

I'm not sure, but I think it might be C) commercial paper because it is also a short-term debt instrument like treasury bills.

I agree with Gaynell, because treasury bills are typically sold at a discount and the offering price includes accrued interest.
