- A.
5%
- B.
10%
- C.

- D.

A circuit limit is a predetermined percentage change in the price of a stock that triggers a temporary halt in trading. This measure is put in place to prevent extreme volatility and protect investors. In this case, the correct answer is 15% because it is not a circuit limit for a stock. The other options, 5%, 10%, and 20%, are all commonly used circuit limits that determine when trading should be temporarily halted.Rate this question:
