Answer: C. AA-rated short-term bonds

Explanation:

It was stated that the client has a low risk tolerance. Therefore, to reduce the credit risk, investment grade bonds are appropriate (BBB or higher). To reduce the interest rate risk, short-term maturities will be preferable to long-term maturities. Both of these factors will result in a safer bond investment.
