The swap spread will increase with:

B)
an increase in the credit spread embedded in the reference.

C)
a deterioration in one party’s credit.

The swap spread is the spread between the fixed-rate on a market-rate swap and the Treasury rate on a similar maturity note/bond. Since the fixed rate is calculated from the reference rate yield curve, it is increased as the credit spread embedded in the reference rate yield curve increases.
