    A. Lower capital requirement.

    Explanation:

    A call option gives the buyer the right to purchase the underlying asset at the strike price at any time before the expiry date (and the seller is obligated to deliver the underlying asset at the strike price). As they demand a less capital investment than equities so are less risky and have the potential to deliver higher percentages of returns.
