Explanation:
A bull spread strategy is typically constructed by buying a call option with a lower strike price and selling a call option with a higher strike price. This strategy is used when the trader expects a moderate increase in the price of the underlying asset.
Why A is correct: Buying the call option with a strike price of $30 and selling the call option with a strike price of $35 creates a bull spread. The maximum profit in this strategy is the difference between the two strike prices minus the net premium paid. The maximum loss is limited to the net premium paid for the options. This strategy provides a trader with a way to profit from a moderate rise in the price of the underlying asset while limiting potential losses.
Why B is incorrect: Buying a call option with a higher strike price and selling a call option with a lower strike price would create a bear spread, not a bull spread. This strategy would be profitable if the trader expects the price of the underlying asset to fall, not rise.
Why C is incorrect: Buying a put option and selling a call option both with the same strike price does not create any kind of spread strategy. This combination of options is known as a straddle, which is used when high volatility in either direction is expected in the market.
Why D is incorrect: Similar to choice C, buying and selling options (whether calls or puts) at the same strike price does not result in any type of spread strategy but rather creates another form of straddle or strangle depending on whether they are at-the-money or out-of-the-money respectively.
