| LondonBoy | Why not I & II ? | 
| niti | Question says directly from firm.Hence ans is I only. | 
| danlan | That's the difference between Warrant and Call option: directly from firm/not. | 
| mtcfa | Got it. | 
| Rotigga | Caught me off guard. Good question. | 
| cslau83 | Call could be direct from company when company writes call. | 
| gulfa99 | "for a specified time" | 
| Creep | Indeed, it's the "specified time" clause that is the kicker.... | 
| jonan203 | "specified time" has nothing to do with it, call and put options have a limited life over a "specified time" as well; however, they are traded on exchanges, not by the company! | 
| gill15 | Damn...nice catch--- some of these just get you... | 
 
      I just wanted to share the good news that I passed CFA Level I!!! Thank you for your help - I think the online question bank helped cut the clutter and made a positive difference.
