b) the same whether bonds sell at a discount or a premium.

Explanation:

As we know that

The bond interest is paid on the par value and we normally assume the par value is $100 or $1,000

The selling value for the bond interest paid is not relevant.

Therefore, the interest paid on the bond would remain the same whether bonds sell at a discount or premium as it considered only the par value, not the selling value.
