Explanation:
Option B is correct because investors can indeed purchase ETF shares in the secondary market from market makers, just like they would trade any other stock on an exchange.
Option A is incorrect because while ETFs do have an initial public offering, the size is not fixed. The creation/redemption mechanism allows the number of shares to expand or contract based on market demand.
Option C is incorrect because US market makers must settle their accounts within the standard T+2 settlement period, not up to three days. The creation/redemption process is designed to work within this settlement timeframe.
