The  Correct option is D)40,,000

The rational of the option is that total loss realized by XYZ co is ${(40-30)*8000=80,000}.The unrealized loss of {(40-35)*8000=40,000) reported in the comprehensive income of Year1 and also shareholders equity reduced by this loss..So that remaining unrealized loss amounting ${(35-30)*8000=40,000) will be reported in the year2.
