Answer:

Correct Answer:

B. Mortgage Bonds

Explanation:

Since residential and commercial real estate market is expected to be strong for a number of years, the best investment would be a mortage bond.

A mortgage bond is a bond in which holders have a claim on the real estate assets put up as its collateral. The lender might sell a collection of mortgage bonds to an investor, who then collects the interest payments on each mortgage until it's paid off. If the mortgage owner defaults, the bondholder gets her house.
