Answer (B) is correct . The term structure of interest rates is the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates. The term structure is graphically depicted by a yield curve. The interest rate is plotted on the vertical axis, and the years to maturity is plotted on the horizontal axis. The yield curve may change in both slope and position over time.

Answer (A) is incorrect because The yield curve plots the interest rates on the vertical axis and years to maturity on the horizontal axis.
Answer (C) is incorrect because The yield curve plots the interest rates on the vertical axis and years to maturity on the horizontal axis.
Answer (D) is incorrect because The yield curve plots the interest rates on the vertical axis and years to maturity on the horizontal axis.
