  1. Government securities are considered liquid because they are
    1. backed by the Government treasury
    2. convertible into other types of saving deposits
    3. quickly and easily marketable
    4. stable in value
Correct Option: C

Liquid Asset is an asset that can be converted into cash quickly and with minimal impact to the price received. In a liquid market, assets can be easily converted without considerable price fluctuation, and with a minimal decline in worth. A liquid market is a type of market that possesses a high level of stability, and low spreads between asking and selling prices. Securities issued by the Government are considered risk-free, and as such, their yields are often used as the benchmarks for fixed- income securities with the same maturities. The government securities market constitutes a key segment of the financial market, heavily traded offering virtually credit risk-free highly liquid financial instruments, which market participants are more willing to transact and take positions.
