The correct response that describes capital gains is:
- **the profit earned on the sale of an asset which has increased while it was owned**
The other options do not represent capital gains. Interest from a government bond is considered income, the new value of a stock after the market closes is not a realized gain or loss until the stock is sold, and the money lost when a stock is sold for less than its purchase price represents a capital loss, not a capital gain.
