The S&P 500 (Standard & Poor’s 500) is a market-capitalisation-weighted index that tracks the stock performance of 500 large-cap U.S. companies, so it relates to a stock index, not to supercomputers, e-business techniques or bridge engineering. Option (d) is correct. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%26P_500?utm_source=openai))
