Correct Answer: The current market price
 


Solution : The correct answer is (b) The current market price

In a market order, shares are bought or sold at the "current market price." A market order is an instruction to buy or sell a security at the best available price in the market at the time the order is placed. The execution of a market order is immediate, and the price at which the transaction occurs is determined by the prevailing market conditions, ensuring a quick trade but without a specified or pre-set price.
