c. Line of credit
d. Factoring

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": Issuance of bonds.

Explanation:

Firms tend to issue bonds when they need to raise funds to continue with their operations or to start the massive production of a new good. Bonds work like a loan between financial institutions and the companies. Financial institutions, typically banks, agree with the firms in providing an amount of money so that the firm will pay back within a specific time in the long term.
