A. the extra cost to the Treasury Department in higher interest rates is well over 50 basis points per year - This choice means that the treasury department is going to bear a cost which is measured in "higher interest rates" . This does not make sense
B. the extra cost to the Treasury Department, incurred in higher interest rates, is going to be well over an extra 50 basis points per year - the modifier is wrongly places saying that the treasury department is incurred in higher interest rates
C. the Treasury Department will face higher interest rates, well over an extra 50 basis points per year - it is not the treasury department that will face higher interest rates, rather levying higher interest rates by the treasury will cost the treasury more
D. higher interest rates will cost the Treasury Department well over an extra 50 basis points per year - This is correct. Higher interest rates will cost the treasury over an extra 50 basis points
E. well over an extra 50 basis points per year will be the cost that is going to be borne by the Treasury Department - this choice reads that 50 basis points per yeas is the cost, which is wrong
