The correct answer is letter "E": cost of debt.

Explanation:

The cost of debt is the interest a company pays on its borrowings. It is expressed as a percentage rate. Also, the cost of debt can be calculated as a before-tax rate or an after-tax rate. Before interest is deductible for income taxes, the cost of debt is usually expressed as an after-tax rate.
