Option D

Explanation:

A limit order refers to the form of terms of buying or sell a safe, at or better than a stated price. The transaction can only be performed at the maximum price or a cheaper one for purchase maximum orders, while the transaction will either be performed at the restricted one or perhaps a stronger one for sale limit instructions.

It can also be compared with something like a market order, under which a transaction is carried out at the current market value with little or no defined time cap.
