• C) Call options generally sell at prices above their exercise value,but for an in-the-money option,the greater the exercise value in relation to the strike price,the lower the premium on the option is likely to be.
• D) Because of the put-call parity relationship,under equilibrium conditions a put option on a stock must sell at exactly the same price as a call option on the stock.
