Correct Answer: Facilitating trading of securities


Solution : The correct answer is (c) Facilitating trading of securities

The primary function of a stock exchange is to facilitate the trading of securities. Stock exchanges provide a marketplace where buyers and sellers can come together to buy and sell shares, bonds, and other financial instruments. They offer a platform for transactions to occur in a regulated and transparent manner, ensuring fair pricing and efficient execution of trades. The stock exchange acts as an intermediary that helps in matching buy and sell orders, providing liquidity, and maintaining an organized and efficient market for securities trading.
