$00.

(Round your response to two decimal places.)

Why would a call with a $18 strike price sell for less than a call with a $17 strike price (for all expiration dates) while a put with a $18 strike price would sell for more than a put with a $17 strike price (for all expiration dates)? (Check all that apply.)

A.

The $18 put is more expensive than the $17 put because the stock price will reach $17 before it hits $18, making the option less valuable at $95 than $105.

B.

The $18 call is cheaper than the $17 call because the stock price will reach $17 before it hits $18, making the option more valuable at $17 than $18.

C.

The $18 put is more expensive than the $17 put because the stock price will reach $17 before it hits $18, making the option more valuable at $17 than $18.

D.

The $18 call is cheaper than the $17 call because the stock price will reach $17 before it hits $18, making the option less valuable at $17 than $18.
