Answer:

The answer is D

Explanation:

Intrinsic value can be found by simply using the following formula

Put intrinsic value = Strike Price - Current selling price

this gives,

PIV = $45 - $50 = $-5

A put intrinsic value cannot be vegetative as it can be exercised right now at the current price. Thus it is interpreted as 0.

Time value is calculated as follows

Time Value = Option Price - Intrinsic Value

This gives   TV = $3.5 - $0 = $3.5

Hope this helps.
