    d. a reduction in the risk free rate

    Explanation:

    The risk-free return rate is the estimated return rate of a zero-risk investment.

    The real risk-free price can be determined by subtracting from the Treasury bond yield matching your portfolio period the current inflation rate.

    The risk-free rate reflects the return that an investor could receive throughout a set period of time from a completely risk-free investment.
