The correct answer is Spot market.

Explanation:

The spot market or spot market is one in which both the transaction and the settlement of an operation coincide on the same date. Although it is considered cash market when delivery occurs up to a maximum of 2 days later.

In spot markets, transactions are usually settled within a day or two after the date of purchase / sale. This is what is understood as a settlement in D + 1 or D + 2.
