    Correct option is (c)

    Explanation:

    Face value of bond is $1,000. If investors feel that bond issued by Springfield is less attractive than other bonds, this means either the bond is offering a coupon rate lower than market interest rate prevailing in the market as compared to other bonds.

    In this case, bond will be sold at a price lower than its face value. This is also called discount bonds. Price of the bond falls as investors feel they can buy a similar bond that offers better returns.

    Out of all options, $875 is lower than face value of $1,000, so, bond would be most likely sold at $875.
