Options

Options are contracts which give the buyer(the owner) the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset or instrument at a specific strike price on or before a specific date. An option which conveys to the owner the right to buy something at a specific price is referred to as a call; an option which conveys to the owner the right to sell something at a specific price is referred to as a put.
