Answer

Ranked in order

1  - b

2 - c

3 - a

Explanation

When the coupon rate is greater than the YTM, the bond's current price is greater than it's face value and the bond trade at a premium. Bond B is trading at a premium.

When the coupon rate is less than the YTM, the bond's current price is less than it's face value and the bond trade at a discount. Bond A is trading at a discount.

When the coupon rate is equal to the YTM, the bond's current price is equal to it's face value. Bond C has a current price equal to its face value.
