Answer:

B. Investors clearly believe this company is not in danger of bankruptcy

Explanation:

The yield of these bonds is much higher than its coupon rate, that is why there market price is so low. Clearly, this company is almost bankrupt. Investment grade bonds are A bonds, these would be junk bonds. These bonds are a very risky investment, that is why their yield is so high.
