  B. Any point on the efficient frontier and to the left of the point of tangency between the CML and the efficient frontier.
  C. Any point on the efficient frontier and to the right of the point of tangency between the CML and the efficient frontier.
  D. Any point on the efficient frontier and above the CML.
  Answer:
  1.B
  Rho values for put options are always negative and approach zero as the option nears maturity.
  2.D
  When bonds are redeemed to comply with sinking fund provisions, the call price is known as the “special redemption price.” When bonds are redeemed according to the call provisions specified in the bond indenture, the call price is known as “regular redemption price.”
  3.A
  Capital market theory suggests that all investors should invest in the same portfolio of risky assets, and this portfolio is located at the point of tangency of the CML and the efficient frontier of risky assets. Any point below the CML is suboptimal, and points above the CML are not feasible.
