    c) It issues (sells) a bond and uses the money to pay off exactly that amount in bank loans

    Explanation:

    A company's leverage ratio measures the amount of capital that comes from debt.

    The most common leverage ratio is the debt-equity ratio, calculated using the following formula:

    Debt-Equity Ratio = Long-term debt/shareholders' equity

    Because in this case, the firm is issuing a bond to pay off exactly what it owes to the bank, the leverage ratio is unaffected because no new debt is being issued. (in fact, debt is going down).
