Venture exchange
B.
Pink sheets
C.

D.

The Answer Is:
C
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
An alternative trading system (ATS) is a trading platform that is not a formal stock exchange but allows for the buying and selling of securities. A dark pool is a type of ATS where trade details are not displayed until after execution, providing anonymity to large institutional trades. Other options like venture exchanges, pink sheets, and OTC bulletin boards are not considered ATSs.
