Explanation
This question draws on specialized knowledge of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), a U.S. government agency that regulates the futures and options market. To answer correctly, you would need to be familiar with the categories that the CFTC uses to distinguish different kinds of market activity. The CFTC provides public access to data reports in which market participants are categorized as Commercial, Non-commercial, and Others. In this reported classification by the CFTC, "Managed Money" is seen as a part of the non-commercial group, "Merchants" as commercial. However, the category "Consumers" is not part of CFTC's outlined categories.
