Answer:

B) (I) is false, (II) true.

Explanation:

Even though short term rates (Treasury bills) are much more volatile than long term rates (Treasury bonds), it is normal that the rate of return on Treasury bills is lower than the rate of return on Treasury bonds. Some of the reasons why Treasury bills have such a low rate of return is that they are very liquid investments and they don't pay any periodic interest.
