Gaige Serrano · Answer 1

A.

Explanation:

This is the most accurate answer as the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 extended the faculties of the Securities Act of 1933 which until then regulated the transaction of the primary market. When the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 was enacted, the regulations also comprised the transactions of the secondary market.

Since the exchange floor is the scenario where the securities trading takes place, the option A is the one that best engulfs the main aspects of the Act.
