Identify the trading strategy that will generate the payoffs of taking a long position in a put option within a single-period binomial framework.

A. Short sell $–h = –(p^+ – p^–)/(S^+ – S^–)$ units of the underlying and financing of $–PV(–hS^– + p^–)$
Buy $–h = (p^+ – p^–)/(S^+ – S^–)$ units of the underlying and financing of $– PV(–hS^– + p^–)$
C. Short sell $h = (p^+ – p^–)/(S^+ – S^–)$ units of the underlying and financing of $+PV(–hS^– + p^–) $

That is, the call option has one year to mature, the periodically compounded risk- free interest rate is 5.15%, the exercise price is €100, u = 1.35, and d = 0.74. The put option value will be closest to:

A. €12.00.
B. €12.10.
