Definitely C. Yankee bonds are a type of domestic foreign bond, not a Eurobond or a global bond.

I'm pretty confident the correct answer is C) Domestic foreign bond. Yankee bonds are just that - bonds issued by non-US entities but sold in the US market.

I think it could also be considered a global bond since it's traded internationally.

But Yankee bonds are issued by foreign entities in the US, so it's more like a domestic foreign bond.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Isn't a Yankee bond a domestic foreign bond issued in the US by a non-US entity? That's what I remember from my studies.

Yes, that's correct. It's a way for foreign entities to raise capital in the US market.
