Answer: False
**Correct answer: False** For the **buyer of a compound option**, the maximum loss is generally limited to the **premium paid** for the compound option. That is the key feature of a long option position. The statement is too strong because it claims that a **put-on-a-call** offers the worst loss potential among all four compound option types. The buyer of any of the four compound options does not face open-ended loss in the way a short option writer might. So the statement is incorrect as written.
