Which of the following statements is correct?

Solution

The call option is exercised when the exercise price is less than the current market price. The more the difference; the more probability of the call option being exercised. Therefore, the price of the call option will decrease when the strike price is more but the call option where the exercise price is comparatively lesser would be more valuable. Similarly, for the put option, its value is increased when the exercise price is more. The more remaining time to maturity, the more the value of both call and put options. The reason is that it gives time for the option to be exercised which gives it value. An American option can be exercised anytime before the maturity period
