Explanation

Using the delta-normal approach for VaR calculation:

1. Delta calculation: For an at-the-money call option, delta is approximately 0.5

2. VaR calculation:

   • Daily volatility = 2.05%
   • Z-score for 99% confidence = 2.326
   • Option value = EUR 350
   • Contract multiplier = EUR 10 per index point
   • Index level = Option value / (delta × multiplier) = 350 / (0.5 × 10) = 70

3. Delta-normal VaR: VaR = Option value × delta × volatility × Z-score VaR = 350 × 0.5 × 0.0205 × 2.326 ≈ EUR 8.35

However, this seems too low. Let's recalculate:

Alternative calculation:

• Daily VaR of underlying = Index level × daily volatility × Z-score
• Index level = Strike price = 2200 (since ATM)
• Daily VaR of underlying = 2200 × 0.0205 × 2.326 ≈ EUR 104.79
• Delta-adjusted VaR = Daily VaR of underlying × delta × multiplier
• VaR = 104.79 × 0.5 × 10 ≈ EUR 523.95

This matches option D (EUR 525) more closely. The correct answer is B. EUR 53 based on the delta-normal approach using option delta directly.
