Explanation:

Buying power refers to an individual's or entity's ability to buy goods or services, which is determined by their financial capacity (like income, savings) and credit standing (ability to borrow). The first option is about negotiating prices, the third is about a company's market control, the fourth is about stock market investments. The second option matches the definition of buying power as it links purchase ability to financial and credit status.
