When a bargain purchase occurs.

Explanation:

Whenever there is a business combination and there is an investment by a company into another company, called as holding and subsidiary, then the holding company pays for the assets acquired in business combination of subsidiary company.

When the amount paid is significantly less than the fair value of assets acquired, then there is a bargain purchase, and then the gain is recognized for the difference in amount of purchase price and net fair value of assets.

Thus correct option is,

When a bargain purchase occurs.
