1) All the alternatives are applicable.

A) Liquidity : If liquidity goes down then company's risk of bankruptcy may increase due to shortage of liquid assets for meeting on time financial commitments

B) Stock price : Stock price is the result of market supply and demand for shares. When stock price decreases at large, it means there is almost no demands of the shares in the market, which creates problems for further issuance of stock for additional fund raising and may stand alone as a risk of bankrupty.

C) Leverage : Proportion of debt and equity in capital structure is called leverage. If proportion of debt increases then it may be the cause of bankruptcy risk.

D) Higher rated bonds have lower interest rate, but unsecured bonds of non reputed companies are normally called unrated or poor rated bonds. These bonds are associated with higher rate of fixed interest ,which ultimately effect the risk of bankruptcy.

B) Longer maturity bonds are very much price sensitive because the period of maturity is too large.

C) Rise in interest rate always decrease the market price of the bonds. Because when interest rate increase then investors have different alternatives for investment in the market, they wants to sell their bonds and reinvest their money in different investment proposal .
