B
Explanation:  B) P = 60/1.058 + 60/1.0552 + 1060/1.0523 = 1021.07 which is greater than $1000, so it trades at a premium.  The other way to answer this question is to simply note that the coupon rate is greater than any of the zero coupon yields during the first three years so its must trade at a premium.
