Expert Solution
Step 1

Primary market is a place where the stocks are created or issued for the first time. On the other hand, secondary market is a place where they are traded. Therefore, to purchase an already existing stock such as Amazon, we should use the secondary market such as NASDAQ and NYSE.

Financial market is a broader term for stock, bond and derivatives market whereas exchange markets are usually for the trading of forex or currencies.
