Explanation / Answer

Bear call spread, also known as short call spread, is a bearish option strategy using two call options – one short call with a lower strike and one long call with a higher strike.

Profit = short call price with lower strike price - long call price with higher strike price - max(0, stock price - strike price)

= 13.46 - 6.36 - max(0, 55-50) = $2.10

correct answer is option C.
