    The strategy only pays off when the stock price in August is between $44.25 and $55.75. Thus, the answer is b.

    Explanation:

    The investor net gain on premium from option is $1.25 + $4.5 = $5.75.

    The investor has to obligation to buy at $50 and obligation to sell at $50 in August.

    As a result, Investor paid-off is described according to the spot price, denoted as x, of Hug-Packing in August as below:

    Spot price <$50: 5.75 - (50 - x) = x - 44.25

    Spot price = $50: $5.75

    Spot price > $50 : 5.75 - (x - 50) = 55.75 - x

    Thus, the strategy will pay off only when:

    (x - 44.25) > 0 and (55.75 - x) <0 or x is between $44.25 and $55.75.

    Thus, the answer is b.
