Answer:

Yield to Maturity

Step-by-step explanation:

Yield to maturity is the correct answer because the average annual yield that a person expects to earn is called the yield to maturity. Or it is the total return on the bond if a person holds the bond till its maturity. Since 8.6 percent is the average return so this is a yield to maturity.
