Explanation:
When an entity sells (writes) an option, it receives the option premium upfront and holds an obligation, rather than a right. The seller has no future receivables from the buyer; if the buyer (counterparty) defaults, the seller simply keeps the premium and their obligation ceases. Therefore, the seller of an option has a counterparty credit exposure of 0. Counterparty risk exists primarily for the buyer of an option.
