Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> This describes GDP at Factor Cost (GDP MP minus net indirect taxes), not GDP at Market Price.

Option 2 -> This correctly defines GDP at Market Price as the total market value of final goods and services produced domestically in a year.

Option 3 -> This refers to depreciation or capital consumption allowance, not GDP.

Option 4 -> This describes National Income or GDP at Factor Cost (factor incomes), not GDP at Market Price.


Hence, Option 2: Market value of all final goods and services produced within a domestic territory of a country measured in a given financial year -> GDP at Market Price is the monetary measure of the market value of all final goods and services produced within the geographical boundaries of a country during a specific time period (usually a year). It includes indirect taxes and excludes subsidies, hence valued at market prices. It considers only final goods to avoid double counting and focuses on domestic territory (not nationality of factors). -> correct
