Answer:

d. No No

Explanation:

The information given tells us that during 2021, the market value of the security decreased, and during 2022, the market value increased. It doesn't tell us the amount of the loss or the gain, so we cannot know for sure if the price's decline or recovery was higher.

Any increase or decrease in the market value of securities classified as available-for-sale (AFS) will result in unrealized gains/losses that must be reported in the balance sheet, not the income statement.
