Answer:

c- If market interest rates remain unchanged, the bond's price one year from now will be lower than it is today.

Explanation:

Bonds have an inverse relationship to interest rates; when interest rates rise, bond prices fall, and vice-versa. But as the market didn`t suffer a variation, and the price of the something always is more higher in the present, it means that our bond is going to value less in the future (due to the fact that there were no variation on the market), it would only worth more if the interest rate go down.
