The correct answer is Bonds and mutual funds.

Explanation:

Mutual funds are, in layman's terms, collections of stocks, bonds, and other investment securities, managed by a financial expert to maximize profit. These funds often contain stocks and bonds of different companies.

Bonds, on the other hand, are like formalized loans that investors offer to commercial and government agencies. They do not offer ownership of any kind of the company but often offer regular interest payments (called "coupons") and / or full repayment at the end of the bond (loan).
