Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is E) None of the above.

Explanation:

when you purchase a straddle on euros, this means you simultaneously buy a call option and a put option on the same common stock on euros bearing a similar expiration date, and the same place where the security can be bought and sold. What this means is, you tend to make a profit once the common stock makes a sharp move. Normally, call options give investors the liberty to sell stock expecting a rise in price, while a put option gives the investors want to sell their stock because they predict a fall in price. These two option contracts aim at making investors make profits.
