    B) $3,000

    Explanation:

    Chapter 11 bankruptcy involves the reorganization of debts and assets. A debtor in possession refers to a company that filed for bankruptcy under chapter 11 but still possesses assets that can be used to pay off debts.

    The gain on restructuring the debt will equal the difference in the debt's book value and the asset's fair market value = $28,000 - $25,000 = $3,000
