    Option (B) If the market rate of interest is 10%, the bonds will issue at a discount

    Explanation:

    Interest rate risk is defined as the risk changing which, interest rates will affect bond prices. When current interest rates are greater than a bond's coupon rate, the bond will be sold below its face value at a discount. When interest rates are less than the coupon rate, the bond can be sold at a premium--higher than the face value.
