Answer #1

Ans A.$200 profit

At the expiration date, stock price sells for less than the Put rate. So, the buyer of the contract will exercise the option.

Profit to seller = (Premium taken + (Expiration price - Put price) ) * 100

                = (4 + ( 118 - 120) ) * 100

                      = $ 200
