    a. less than face value

    Explanation:

    In this issue, we will equate the interest rate on the market with the interest rate on the bond.

    As we see, the market interest rate, i. e. 8%, is higher than the bond interest rate, i. e. 8%, than the bond is sold at discount, and if the market interest rate is lower than the bond interest rate than the bond is sold at a premium.
