The marketplace for trading stocks and shares of public limited companies; examples include the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

• A. Share market
• B. Private market
• C. Commodities exchange
• D. Stock Exchange

Answer: (D)

Trading of stocks and shares of public limited companies occurs on stock exchanges—the formal venues where listed companies have their shares traded and price discovery happens through buyers and sellers. The London Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange are classic examples of these institutions. A share market is a broader term for market activity and doesn’t specify the formal venue, a private market deals with unlisted shares, and a commodities exchange trades commodities rather than equities. So the term that best fits the description and examples is Stock Exchange.
