Answer: B is the best answer

Explanation:

When convertible bonds are issued, the conversion price will be at a premium in relation to the current market price which is normal. Therefore the stock price must go up in the market for the conversion to be worthwhile. Convertible bonds can be sold when the yield is low compared with bonds that does not have the conversion feature.
