Answer: A 9-year T-bond with a 10.25% coupon

Explanation:

Generally the higher the coupon rate, the higher the price of the bond. This is because the price of a bond is simply the present value of all the expected Cashflow from the bond. If the bond has a higher coupon rate that would mean that more cash will be paid by the bond thereby increasing it's price.

In short, coupon rates and bond prices have a direct relationship.
