B) The price of the floating-rate note resets to par on each coupon/reset rate, whereas that of the fixed-rate note does not necessarily do so.
C) The price of the fixed-rate note is deterministic and known because the bond pays fixed coupons whereas the floating-rate note has a fluctuating price because it pays floating interest rates.
