    D. Loss of $1000

    Explanation:

    Given that

    A trader sells 200 put options at strike price of $120

    And options are exercised when stock price is $110

    Thus, payoff that must be made on option

    = 200 * (120 - 110)

    = 200 * 10

    = $2000.

    Also,

    Amount received for the option

    = price of option * quantity

    = 5 * 200

    = $1000

    Therefore,

    Trader's net loss = 2000 - 1000

    = $1000
