单选题 An analyst does research about option investing. An investor writes a call option priced at $3 with an exercise price of $100 on a stock that he owns. The investor paid $85 for the stock. If at expiration of the call option the stock price has risen to $110, the profit for the investor's position would be closest to:
A. $3
B. $12
C. $18

【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 股票收益=$110-$85=$25,盈利;期权收益=-($110-$100)=-$10,损失;期权费用=$3,盈利。所以,该投资者的利润=$25-$10+$3=$18。
