Answer: II only
## Explanation **Statement I is incorrect:** Both call and put options' rho values approach zero as expiration approaches. Rho measures sensitivity to interest rate changes, and as time to expiration decreases, the impact of interest rates on option pricing diminishes for both calls and puts. **Statement II is correct:** Theta (time decay) is: - Always negative for long positions (calls and puts) - time works against long option holders - Always positive for short positions (calls and puts) - time works in favor of option sellers Therefore, only Statement II is correct. **Correct Answer: B (II only)**
