Question

what is one benefit of purchasing saving bonds? saving bonds are purchased from the government and guaranteed to increase in value. saving bonds are purchased from commercial banks and guaranteed to increase in value. saving bonds are short term investments backed by the government to protect from loss. saving bonds are long term investments created to help first time home buyers obtain a mortgage.

Explanation:

Savings bonds are low-risk debt securities issued by a government. A key benefit is that they are backed by the full faith and credit of the issuing government, meaning they are guaranteed to increase in value (earn interest) as promised, with no risk of default on the principal or earned interest. The other options are incorrect: savings bonds are not purchased from commercial banks, they are typically long-term (not short-term) general investments, and they are not specifically for first-time home buyers.

Answer:

A. Saving bonds are purchased from the government and guaranteed to increase in value.
