    option 3.20%

    Explanation:

    0.055-0.019-0.004 = 0.032 = 3.20%

    The inflation premium is added to the real risk-free rate as well to the maturity risk premium

    A no risk rate would be 3.2

    because there is a certain change for inflation a premium is added, also another premium is added to prevent investor to purchase the bond on a lower price.
