The Macaulay duration of a zero-coupon bonds is equal to its time to maturity (in years).
If the yield to maturity changes, the Macaulay duration of a zero-coupon bond remains unchanged, since the time to maturity is unchanged.
Therefore, the change in Macaulay duration is zero.
The answer is (b)

Consider a 4-year, $1000 par value bond with zero coupons. If the yield to maturity is 10%, what would be the price of this bond? If the yield to maturity increases to 12% how much does the bond's price change?
Assume that the price of a $1,000 zero coupon bond with 7 years to maturity is $547 when the required rate of return is 9 percent. If the required rate of return suddenly changes to 13 percent, what is the price elasticity of the bond? 7. 8. Assume a bond with a $1,000 par value and an 7 percent coupon rate, two years remaining to maturity, and a 9 percent yield to maturity. What is the duration of this bond?
5) Consider a 4-year, $1000 par value bond with zero coupons. If the yield to maturity is 10%, what would be the price of this bond? If the yield to maturity increases to 12% how much does the bond's price change?
