  {q:"What happens when an option expires out of the money (OTM)?",options:["It’s automatically exercised","It expires worthless","It’s rolled into the next month","The broker closes it automatically"],correct:1,explanation:"An OTM option has no intrinsic value and expires worthless."},
  {q:"What is the maximum loss for an option buyer?",options:["Unlimited","Limited to the premium paid","Limited to the strike price","Depends on volatility"],correct:1,explanation:"The buyer can lose only the premium paid."},
  {q:"What is the maximum loss for a naked call seller?",options:["Limited to the premium received","Limited to 100 × strike price","Unlimited","Zero"],correct:2,explanation:"A naked call exposes the seller to unlimited losses if the underlying rises."},

  {q:"Which side benefits from time decay?",options:["Option buyers","Option sellers","Market makers only","Both equally"],correct:1,explanation:"Sellers benefit because time decay erodes the option’s value."},
  {q:"Which position benefits from rising volatility?",options:["Option buyers","Option sellers","Arbitrageurs","Short sellers"],correct:0,explanation:"Higher volatility increases option premiums, benefiting buyers."},

  {q:"Which factor most affects time value?",options:["Time to expiration and volatility","Strike price only","Dividends only","None of the above"],correct:0,explanation:"Time value mainly depends on time remaining and expected volatility."},
  {q:"What is margin used for in options trading?",options:["To pay for the premium when buying","To secure potential obligations when selling","To increase interest income","To buy more options"],correct:1,explanation:"Margin ensures the broker can cover potential losses on short options."},
