    (B) A loss in continuing operations.

    Since these bonds were issued at a discount, the carrying value would be lower than the face amount.

    Explanation:

    Continuing operations refer to all business operations, excluding the segments that are discontinued. A gain or loss on early retirement of dept is recognized as a component of income from continuing operations. Continuing operations generate revenue for the business through the sale of goods and services.
