C)   greater than the yield to maturity.

D)   less than the current yield and the current yield is greater than the yield to maturity.

The correct answer was A)

When a bond sells at a discount the nominal yield, coupon yield divided by the face value, will be less than current yield and current yield will be less than YTM.
