  Answer:
  1.A
  Credit triggers are early settlement agreements that require counterparties to settle and terminate trades if the credit rating of a party falls below a specified level. Cross-product netting is a provision that allows counterparties to net payments across different products. Expected positive exposure is the average expected exposure over a specified interval. Wrong-way exposures are negatively correlated with the counterparty's credit quality Right-way exposures are positively correlated with the counterparty 's credit quality. Collateral agreements require that specified amounts of assets be transferred to a counterparty if exposures exceed a specified threshold.
  2.C
  Owing to their inherent discontinuities, both knock-in and knock-out barrier options are relatively difficult to hedge (and value) when the spot price is c10se to the barrier price and the contract is near maturity.
  3.B
  The value relationship is discontinuous near the barrier, so hedge ratios are very unstable at that level.
