Correct Answer: B

The investor's risk aversion is not a factor in determining the derivative price.

A derivative can be combined with an asset to produce a risk-free position. The derivative price is the price that guarantees the risk-free combination of the derivative and the underlying to produce a risk-free rate of return. Thus, the derivative price can be inferred from the characteristics of the underlying, the characteristics of the derivative, and the risk-free rate. The investor's risk-aversion is not a factor in determining the derivative price.
