参考答案：C
解析：
The duration computation remains the same. The only difference between modified and effective duration is that effective duration is used for bonds with embedded options. Modified duration assumes that all the cash flows on the bond will not change, while effective duration considers expected cash flow changes that may occur with embedded options.
