Answer:
C- The term structure of interest rates and the time to maturity are always directly related
Explanation:
The term structure of interest rates represents the relationship that exist between interest rates and different terms (maturities). When it is graphed, the term structure receive the name of "yield curve".
Generally, yields increase at the same time maturity does it, this create an upward-sloping yield curve or a normal yield curve. But occasionally, long term yield can fall below short term yields, and this create an inverted yield curve that is regarded as it a recession is likely occurring or approaching.
