call with a $50 strike and a stock price of $49 |
Answer: call with a $50 strike and a stock price of $49
A call option is in the money when Stock price is greater than the Strike price. In option 1 and 3, stock price > strike price and hence they are in the money. In option 5, stock price < strike price and hence that is out of money.
A put option is in the money when stock price is less than the Strike price. In option 2 and 4, stock price is less than stock price and hence both are in the money options.
