    The correct answer is option B - higher.

    Explanation:

    The expected return by the investor is 2%.

    The provided return by the pool is 5%.

    Following that the pool provides a return that is higher than the investor's expected return, it is valued at an amount higher than the par value of the pool.

    Therefore, the correct answer is option B - The valuation of the MPT at origination be compared to the pool's par value at origination is higher.
