Explanation:
Correct answer: False
Compound options are not limited to numerical/binomial methods. While binomial or other numerical methods can be used, some compound options can also be valued with analytical closed-form methods under specific assumptions. A classic example is the Geske formula for certain compound options.
So the statement is too absolute because it says the option must be valued numerically rather than analytically.
