Answer:

D) No No

Explanation:

During 018 the security was not classified as available for sale since it was included in the balance sheet as unrealized holding loss and it didn't affect the balance sheet.

The market price recovery during 2019 exceeded the market price decline of 2018, since during 2018 the company reported unrealized holding loss while after it sold the security it reported a realized gain. That means that the gain was larger than the loss.
