A) Reinvestment rate risk.

Explanation:

Reinvestment rate risk is demonstrated as the type of financial risk in which the investor is concerned about his investment getting canceled or stopped in the future and the other party/place might not be able to provide a similar rate of return.

In the given situation, Frank Barlowe is concerned about reinvestment risk. He is aware that he will earn a steady income from his investments as he knows that when the interest rates increase, his potential returns would increase and vice versa. But since he is retiring, he has a potential concern that if the investment gets abandoned somehow, he might not be able to reinvest his amount at the same rate and will not be able to continue with steady returns. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
