B. they are based on a specific interest rate rather than a bond.
C. call option values move in the same direction as interest rates.

解析:
Treasury bond or bill options are options on fixed income securities. Interest rate options are based on a specific reference rate and interest rate calls have positive payoffs when the reference rate is above the rate specified in the contract.
