Answer:

U.S. Treasury Bond

Explanation:

A bond is a debt instrument.

the US government cannot default on a bond. thus government bonds are considered riskless. this is because the government can print money with the central bank to pay debt obligations

other debt issuers cannot print money to pay debt obligations. thus, they are not riskless
