C is correct.
A is incorrect. Matrix pricing – Identifying other debt that is publicly traded with similar features in maturity, features, and credit quality.
B is incorrect. Synthetic rating – Using the companies’ fundamentals, such as IC ratios and other leverage ratios, to estimate a credit rating class. Once a credit rating has been inferred, an analyst can simply use the YTM on bonds with a similar maturity and credit rating to estimate a cost of debt.
