    correct answer is B $50

    Explanation:

    given data

    purchase = $500

    right to buy = 100 shares

    stocks = $45 per share

    sold = $550

    price of stock = $48

    solution

    As we know that capital gain should be reported as difference between the buy and sell price so

    here capital gain = sold price - purchase price ... 1

    put here value

    capital gain = $550 - $500

    capital gain = $50

    so correct answer is B $50
