Correct Answer: Limit order


Solution : The correct answer is (b) Limit order

When an investor places an order to buy shares at a specific price, it is called a "limit order." In a limit order, the investor specifies the maximum price they are willing to pay for a buy order or the minimum price they are willing to accept for a sell order. The order will only be executed if the market price reaches or matches the specified limit price. If the market price does not reach the limit price during the trading day, the order remains open until it is either executed or canceled by the investor.
