    c. 5.7%

    Explanation:

    The computation of the yield on 3-year Treasury securities is shown below:

    = Real Risk - free rate of return + Inflation premium + maturity risk premium

    where,

    Real Risk - free rate of return = 2%

    Inflation premium = (3% + 3% + 5%) : 3 = 3.67%

    And, the maturity risk premium = 0%

    So, the yield on 3-year Treasury securities is

    = 2% + 3.67% + 0%

    = 5.67%
