Right to Buy or Sell
The right to buy or sell is the fundamental value of an option contract for the buyer. A call gives the right to buy; a put gives the right to sell.
This right provides flexibility and hedging opportunities without the immediate need to own the asset. The buyer can choose to exercise or sell the option instead.
