Explanation:

Capital market is financial market where long term instruments are traded. These instruments include bond, common stocks and debenture. With this background, statement in option D is correct.

Option A is not correct because reverse is the case: investment banks raise large blocks of capital from investors while commercial banks specialize in lending money.

Option B and E are not correct, too. Transaction under them are examples of a secondary market transaction.

Option C is wrong, as well. NYSE has a physical location where trading activities happen.

So option D is the only correct statement because capital market instruments are long-term debt and common stocks.
