The correct answer is option D, held-to-maturity securities include corporate notes and bonds.

Explanation:

Held-to-maturity securities are normally debt instruments purchased with aim of keeping them till maturity so as to collect the principal amount invested as well as the related interests, since they are not held for short-term gains, they are not reported at fair values.

Securities held for short-term to be realized in short-term are reported at fair values
