Answer: a. I and II

Explanation: "Compounded annually" means one compounding period per year, so the compounding frequency (often denoted m or n) = 1 (I true). With m = 1 the nominal annual rate (convertible once per year) equals the effective annual rate, so the nominal rate is 7.918% (II true). The Federal Funds Rate is unrelated to the given loan specification (III false).
