    Consider the following statements about government

    securities and derivatives: (I) Government Securities are risk-free gilt-edged instruments. (II) Derivatives are a type of Government Security. Which statement(s) is/are correct?
    A I only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B II only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both I and II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither I nor II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Government Securities, often referred to as gilt-edged securities, are considered risk-free because they are backed by the government. They include treasury bills and bonds with varying maturities. Derivatives, on the other hand, are financial instruments derived from other assets; they are not a type of Government Security and can carry significant risk.
