Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 9(3)(b) imposes the penalty "without prejudice to the continuance in force of the bond", so the bond stays alive after the penalty. The penalty does not replace the bond and is not combined with imprisonment; if it is unpaid, section 9(4) allows sentence for the original offence.
