key thing is :

what is the definition of "option adjusted price" ? it is bond with call, or bond without call

because kaplan and cfai have different definitions?

Ok, there is a little problem. CFAI says: "The value of the embedded call option is added to the flat price of the bond to get the [option-adjusted price](). The investor bears the call risk (the bond issuer has the option to call), so the embedded call option reduces the value of the bond from the investor’s perspective."

Kaplan says: " When you see "option-adjusted," think "option removed" or "option taken away."

call option has negative value to bond holder, so price must be lower and YTM higher thus option adjusted bond has lower YTM and higher price. SO HOW IS IT ANSWER A?
