Which of the following statements is most correct?

Question 19 options:

	An option's value is determined by its exercise value, which is the market price of the stock less its striking price. Thus, an option can't sell for more than its exercise value.
	As stock price rises, the premium portion of an option on a stock increases because the difference between the price of the stock and the fixed striking price increases.
	Issuing options provides companies with a low cost method of raising capital.
	The market value of an option depends in part on the option's time to maturity and on the variability of the underlying stock's price.
	The potential loss on an option decreases as the option sells at higher and higher prices because the profit margin gets bigger.
