D.The calculation of par yields
Answer: B
Bootstrapping is a way of constructing the zero coupon yield curve from coupon-bearing bonds. It involves working from the shortest maturity bond to progressively longer maturity bonds making sure that the calculated zero coupon yield curve is consistent with the market prices of the instruments.
