Cevap
The correct matches pair each scenario with its analytical classification: 1) Future delivery contract matches Forward/Futures Market; 2) Internet platform transaction matches Virtual/E-Commerce Market; 3) Unofficial currency exchange under price controls matches Parallel/Black Market; 4) Single buyer of agricultural output matches Monopsony Market.
Each economic situation corresponds strictly to its formal classification dimension: timing (forward/futures market), medium of exchange (virtual market), regulatory legality (parallel/black market), and buyer concentration (monopsony market).
