　　Answer: B
　　A long strangle involves buying a call and a put with different strike prices. Buying a call and a put with equal strike prices is a straddle.
　　A long bull spread involves buying a call at lower strike price and selling a call at higher strike price. Hence, a short bull spread is the opposite, i.e. selling a call at lower strike price and buying a call at higher strike price
　　Vertical spreads correspond to different strike prices, not maturities. Horizontal spreads correspond to different maturities.
　　A long butterfly spread is formed by buying two options at two different maturities and selling another two options at the same strike price.

　　Long straddle: Bet on volatility. Buy a call and a put with the same exercise price and expiration date. Profit is earned if stock price has a large change in either direction.
　　Short straddle: Sell a put and a call with the same exercise price and expiration date. If stock price remains unchanged, seller keeps option premiums. Unlimited potential losses.
　　Strangle: Similar to straddle except purchased option is out-of-the-money, so it is cheaper to implement. Stock price has to move more to be profitable.
　　Strips and straps: Add an additional put (strip) or call (strap) to a straddle strategy.
