The investment component of GDP includes spending on capital goods that will be used for future production.

Among the options provided, the correct answer is:

The market value of capital goods purchased this year.

This is because capital goods are used to produce other goods and services in the future, making them a part of the investment component of GDP. The other options refer to consumer goods or financial instruments that do not count as investment in GDP calculation.
