I'm not sure, but I think it might be B) Breakage because it sounds like something related to differences in principal amounts.

I agree with Raelene, because rollover is when the principal amount differs in repos.

I think the answer is B. Breakage. It makes sense that the principal amount would differ in a repo transaction.
