Explanation:

I believe that “obligation” has a broader sense than “liability” and “bond”, and includes both latter terms:

obligation
1. Law.
a. A legal agreement stipulating a specified payment or action, especially if the agreement also specifies a penalty for failure to comply.
b. The document containing the terms of such an agreement.

3. Any act by which a person becomes bound to do something to or for anouther, or to forbear something; external duties imposed by law, promise, or contract, by the relations of society, or by courtesy, kindness, etc.

4. The state of being obligated or bound; the state of being indebted for an act of favor or kindness; as, to place others under obligations to one.

5. (Law) A bond with a condition annexed, and a penalty for nonfulfillment. In a larger sense, it is an acknowledgment of a duty to pay a certain sum or do a certain things.

liability

Bond
1. Law.
a. A written and sealed obligation, especially one requiring payment of a stipulated amount of money on or before a given day.
b. A sum of money paid as bail or surety.
c. A bail bondsman.
2. A certificate of debt issued by a government or corporation guaranteeing payment of the original investment plus interest by a specified future date.
3. The condition of taxable goods being stored in a warehouse until the taxes or duties owed on them are paid.
4. An insurance contract in which an agency guarantees payment to an employer in the event of unforeseen financial loss through the actions of an employee.
