Consider a call option; in terms of the option writer and option holder, who is the buyer? Who is the seller? Finally, who has the option? Explain.
What will be an ideal response?
In the case of a call option, the option writer is the seller. Here the option writer is stating the underlying asset, strike price, and expiration or delivery date. The option holder is the buyer of the option. The option holder buys the right to have the option of actually purchasing the underlying asset on or before the expiration date for the strike price. The option holder has the option, because she could let the option expire and not "call away" the underlying asset, just foregoing the price paid for the option.
