I believe it's B) fair value because it represents the price that would be received in an orderly transaction.

But could it also be C) market value? I'm not sure.

Good point! A) face value is definitely not the right answer here. That's more like the value printed on a bond or something, not the actual transaction price.

Haha, I'm just picturing some of these options. A) face value? Really? Who would sell an asset for its face value in an orderly transaction?

Hmm, I don't think C) market value is quite right. Market value implies an active, open market, whereas the question is talking about a specific transaction between participants.

Ah, I see what you mean. But what about C) market value? Isn't that also a valid answer, since it's the price the asset would sell for in the market?

I agree, B) fair value seems like the most logical choice. The question is talking about the price that would be received in an orderly transaction, which is the definition of fair value.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm pretty sure the right answer is B) fair value, but I want to hear what the others think before I commit to that.
