Could you please elaborate on what constitutes a fundamental example of derivatives? I'm interested in understanding the core concept and how it applies in the realm of finance. Could you provide a straightforward scenario or instance that illustrates the basic principles behind derivatives? It would be helpful if you could explain it in a way that's accessible to a non-expert audience. Thank you for your assistance in clarifying this topic.
