Say I believe Joe's Windows is going to sell for $50.50 per share on February 1. Right now (we'll say right now is September) it's selling for $54. I also know Joe's is a cyclical industry--Joe doesn't sell very many windows in February because no one wants to replace windows when it's cold outside, but he sells a lot of them in May. I think Joe's is going to sell for $65 per share in May. So I sell a put for a thousand shares of Joe's with a $51 strike price and a February 1 expiration date, and a premium of $1 per share. In automated options trading, if the stock price is five cents or more lower than the strike price the option is automatically exercised. I put the $1000 premium in my brokerage account. On February 1, the stock price was $50.90; the option exercised. My brokerage account balance went down by $51,000, my portfolio went up by 1000 shares of stock, and there are three happy campers: the person who sold me the stock because he's $51,000 richer; the broker, who gets a commission from the trade; and me because after the $1000 premium is subtracted I really only had to pay $50,000 for that stock. And I'll be even happier on April 14, because after Joe's new warehouse opens and the stock price shoots up to $70 per share I'll have even more of a profit than I was planning!

Option C is not a conjugated verb since the correct form is "mirèmoslo" Option D is the same as option A but eithout the accent, and because the accent rule determines that every word stressed on the third to last syllabe should be accentuated, then option A would be the correct choice.
