Explanation
The correct answer is B because Shcomp refers to the Shanghai Composite Index, which is the benchmark stock market index for China, not Singapore. Singapore’s main stock market index is the Straits Times Index or STI. The other options are correctly matched as Nikkei is the primary index for Japan, FTSE for the United Kingdom, and Nasdaq for the United States.
