Answer 1

B. capital markets deal in long-term debt and equity securities, while money markets deal only in short-term debt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Most Company uses money market to raise short term funds and capital markets for long term funds. Money market is a market for short term borrowings.

Money market is concerned with liquid fund requirement and capital market is for long term capital fund requirement.
