Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of stock index options: Stock index options are financial derivatives that give the holder the right to trade based on the value of a stock index, rather than individual stocks.

Clarify the settlement process: Stock index options are settled in cash because delivering the underlying stocks of an entire index is impractical. The cash settlement is based on the difference between the option's strike price and the index's value at expiration.

Evaluate the statement about purchasing individual shares: Stock index options do not give the holder the right to purchase individual shares of stock; they are tied to the performance of an index as a whole.

Assess the statement about trading on organized exchanges: Stock index options are indeed traded on organized exchanges, such as the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE).

Review the statement about exercise timing: Stock index options can be either European-style (exercised only on the expiration date) or American-style (exercised at any time before expiration).
