The U. S. bond is a Eurobond and the Japanese bond is termed a foreign bond.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The bond that has been issued by the firm in the United States of America is denominated in the US dollars only. But it is sold in Japan. So this bond is a Euro bond.

But since the bond issued by the Japanese firm is denominated in pounds. And this pound denominated bond is also sold in the United Kingdom, therefore this bond is a foreign bond and not a euro bond.
