Answer:

Gains from remeasuring a foreign subsidiary’s financial statements from the local currency, which is not the functional currency, into the parent company’s currency should be reported as a(n):_______

d. Part of continuing operations.

Explanation:

Gains from the remeasurement of a subsidiary's financial statements from the local currency to the parent company's currency should be reported as part of the continuing operations.  It forms part of the current income.  They are not deferred.  It is translation adjustments that are reported as other comprehensive income, not gains from remeasurement. Remeasurement gains from a subsidiary's local currency to the parent's are also not extraordinary items.
