Explanation:
Correct answer: C
For two calls on the same non-dividend-paying stock with the same maturity:
$14:
$3$0$3, making B true.The false statement is C because the lower-strike call does not necessarily have greater time value. In fact, the higher-strike call often has greater time value because more of the lower-strike call’s price is already captured by intrinsic value.

Question-179.1. Assume two European call options, c1 and c2 on the same non-dividend-paying stock. Both options have one year to expiration (the options are identical except for their strike prices). The current stock price (S) is $14.00. The first call option, c1, has a strike price of $11.00 and the second call option, c2, has a strike price of $14.00; i.e., c1(K) = 11, c2(K) = 14. EACH of the following is true EXCEPT for which statement?
A
c1 > c2; value of first call must be greater than value of second call
B
The intrinsic value of the first call is exactly $3.00 greater than the intrinsic value of the second call
C
The time value of the first call must be greater than (or equal to) the time value of the second call
D
c1 - c2 <= 3.0; difference in call values must be less than or equal to three
