Market Making Interview

Hi

I am interviewing for a top-tier prop shop (think Optiver, Akuna, IMC, etc.). I have a superday coming up and I am pretty sure one of the rounds will be on market making. Can someone please explain what exactly market making is and what can I expect in the interview? Are there any good resources online with some examples? 


Thanks
