I think the key here is that futures contracts are standardized, so each contract is identical in terms of the underlying asset, quantity, and delivery date. That's what makes them fungible.

I remember learning about this in class. I think the answer is D, a broken, arrowed line stereotyped with the word "include".

I think the risk of failing factory acceptance testing is a really important one. Rework at that stage could be extremely costly and delay the release, which goes against the goal of being first to market.

Key strategy: eliminate choices. Option A looks too traditional, so I'd rule that out first.

I was going to choose D, because the clearing house sounds like it's letting its hair down and having some fun with these positions. But I guess C is the more professional answer.

C is spot on! The clearing house's magic touch makes all these futures contracts look the same. It's like they have a fungus or something.

I was about to select B, but then I realized that consecutive contract periods don't necessarily make the contracts fungible. C is the way to go!

That makes sense, the clearing house plays a key role in making futures contracts fungible.

I agree, C is the right answer. The clearing house's role as the counterparty ensures that all contracts are uniform and can be easily traded.

I'm not sure about that. I think it's C) Because the clearing house acts as a counterparty to all trades. That's what makes them fungible.

The correct answer is C, because the clearing house acts as a counterparty to all trades, making each contract fungible and interchangeable.

I agree with Janna. The fact that contract terms can be negotiated makes each contract the same as all others.
