Explanation / Answer

1) Protective Put strategy can be implemented by purchasing a put on a stock that is owned by the investor or writing a put on a stock that is not owned (short sale) by the investor. Therefore, option d is correct.

2) Covered call is executed by writing a call option on a stock that is not owned by the investor. This protects the call writer (the investor) against an increase in the underlying asset's price.
