Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Fair value gain on available-for-sale financial assets would be included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, which reports comprehensive income for the period including both profit or loss and other comprehensive income items such as fair value gains or losses on available-for-sale financial assets. The fair value gain would not appear on the balance sheet or statement of changes in equity, but it may be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
