AA. The annual interest rate on the underlying loans
BB. The return to the investor based on the price paid and cash flows received from the security✓ Correct
CC. The income generated by the properties securing the mortgages
DD. The government guarantee on the security

Explanation

Yield on a mortgage-backed security is the investor's total return, factoring in both coupon payments and the price paid for the security. If the security is bought at a discount, yield exceeds the coupon rate; if bought at a premium, yield is less.
