Answer: B. Treasury notes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Treasury Notes are tax exempt from all state and local taxation but are taxable by the Federal Government with the relevant tax rate being the investor's marginal tax rate.

The amount taxed is the interest received on the note when it matures. The investor can also be taxed on capital gain if they bought the Note at discounted prices and then sold it for more than that.
