Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Treasury bills, or T-bills are issued at a discount from the par value (face value) and the interest payment is paid one time, on maturity, and it is the difference between the par value and the purchase price. T-notes, T-bonds and TIPS pay interest semi-annually (twice a year).
