The correct example of financial investment from the options provided is:

an individual purchases stock with the intent to sell it later at a higher price.

This option reflects a financial investment because it involves buying an asset (stock) with the expectation of generating a return (selling at a higher price). The other options relate more to consumption or business investment rather than financial investment.
