A bond that sells below its face value is trading at:

A A premium
B A discount, meaning its coupon rate is below the current market interest rate
C Par value
D Maturity value

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

Bond at discount: market price < face value. Occurs when coupon rate < market yield. Investors demand a lower price to compensate for the below-market coupon payments.
