b. the total return earned over a specific period through buying and selling an asset

Explanation:

Holding period return (HPR) is the return an investor receives for the period he/she holds the stock. For example if an investor buys a company's stock and holds it for a year then sells it after receiving the dividend, the holding period will be 1 year, while the holding period return will be the percentage rate of return earned within that 1 year, making choice B correct.
