Option A, no doubt. Unless the question is asking about the yield curve for a group of financial analysts who are also stand-up comedians. Then it might be option B or C.

I'm going with A. Anything else would just be confusing, like plotting yield against price - what is this, the stock market?

Definitely A. Who would ever want to plot coupon against term? That's just silly.

Option A seems correct. The yield curve is typically plotted with yield on the y-axis and term on the x-axis.
