Barter refers to the exchange of goods and services without the use of money. In option A, a desk is being exchanged for a box of tools, which is an example of barter. The other options involve the use of money (buying clothes at a used clothing store, gift of tuition money, purchase of stock on the New York Stock Exchange) and are therefore not examples of barter.
