Question: On November 2 1 , 2 0 2 2 , the SPY ETF was trading at $ 3 9 6 . 0 3 . Please

On November 21,2022, the SPY ETF was trading at $396.03. Please find below the Option Chain for SPY from Nasdaq for that same day, for 3-month contracts expiring February 17,2022. John owns 100 shares of SPY ETF, but he is bearish (negative) about the outlook for S&P500. Mary does not own SPY ETFs and she is bullish about the outlook for S&P500. Please mark the only INCORRECT statement about trading calls.
a.
Mary will pay a premium C = $13.70 to buy CALL on SPY with strike at $405
b.
The more the CALL that Mary buys is OTM (out of the money), the lower will be the premium but the higher will be the probability that the call remains OTM (and therefore she would lose the premium)
c.
If Mary buys 100 call contracts at a $415 strike and SPY price rises to $430, then her profit will be $548
d.
If John writes a CALL for Mary at a strike of $405 for a premium C = $13.70 this is considered to a "covered call", which is used to raise revenue for his portfolio
