B) A credit to Revenues-Change in Fair Value of Investments in the amount of $100,000.

Explanation:

Government entities have to record transactions using the fair market value of assets. In this case, the fair market value was $100,000 higher than the cost of the transferred investments. So that difference has to be adjusted using the Revenues-Change in Fair Market Value of Investments account.
