Yeah, I agree with C and E for sure. G is concerned about rates rising above 10%. But I'm not sure about B - does that mean G is trying to keep rates in a specific range?

Okay, let me break this down. G bought a put option to limit their exposure to rising rates, and sold a call option to benefit from falling rates. I think the answer is B, C, and E.

Hmm, I see what they're getting at. G is trying to protect against interest rates rising above 10%, but also wants to benefit if they fall below 8.5%. Interesting strategy!

This question is tricky! It's testing our understanding of interest rate options and the behavior of the person who purchased and sold them. I'm going to have to think this through carefully.
