Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Short-term securities are commonly referred to as bills (such as Treasury bills), while long-term securities are typically known as bonds. Therefore, option D is the best choice. Option A is incorrect because notes are typically longer-term instruments. Option B is also incorrect because loans are not securities. Option C is incorrect because although bonds are long-term securities, stocks are not securities at all – they represent ownership in a company, rather than a tradable financial instrument.
