The answers are correct.
The interest rate risk is the risk of changes in interest rate during the long run which might affect the investment.
It is the risk that the value of a bond or other fixed-income investment will suffer as the result of a change in interest rates. Investors can reduce interest rate risk by buying bonds that mature at different dates.
They also may compensate the risk by hedging fixed-income investments with interest rate swaps and other instruments.
