Explanation:
Option A (Incorrect): The payoff for a put option after an upward price movement is calculated as , where is the exercise price and is the price after the up move. Here, . Thus, the payoff is , which is lower than the payoff for Option B.
Option B (Correct): The payoff for a put option after a downward price movement is , where . The payoff is , which is the highest among the given options.
Option C (Incorrect): The payoff for a call option after a downward price movement is . Here, , so the payoff is , which is also lower than Option B.
This question tests the understanding of payoff calculations in a one-period binomial model for derivatives.
