The correct answer is B.
Through standardization and designated market makers, derivatives exchanges guarantee that derivatives can be bought and sold.
The cornerstones of the exchange-traded derivatives market are the market makers and speculators. The market makers stand ready to buy at one price and sell at a higher price.
