Basic Question 4 of 7

The arbitrage-free valuation approach is different from traditional valuation because:

I. the bond is broken into zero-coupon bonds and a single bond rate is used.
II. the bond is broken into zero-coupon bonds and discounted by multiple spot rates.
III. spot rates are estimated for each cash flow maturity.
