Final Answer : A, Explanation :  The duration of a bond typically increases with an increase in its term to maturity because longer-term bonds have cash flows that are spread out over a longer period, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates. Conversely, duration generally decreases with an increase in yield to maturity and coupon rate, as higher yields and coupons mean that a greater portion of the bond's cash flows are received earlier.
