D. One where the borrower obtains funds directly from the lender for newly issued securities

Explanation:

A primary financial market refers to the market where a firm or government issues a financial security for the first time, and investors can purchase those securities directly from the issuer. It is usually mediated by investment banks.

After the primary market is exhausted, further trading occurs in the secondary market, for example: the stock exchange.
