In comparing a swap to a futures or forward contract where the underlying is an interest rate instrument such as a Eurodollar CD, which of the below statements is FALSE?
A) The long futures position gains if interest rates decline and loses if interest rates rise - this is similar to the risk/return profile for a floating-rate payer.

C) Interest rate swaps can be viewed as a package of more basic interest rate control tools, such as forwards.
D) The pricing of an interest rate swap will then depend on the price of a package of forward contracts with the same settlement dates and in which the underlying for the forward contract is the same contract rate.
