B)   Buy a European put option; buy the same stock; sell a European call option.

C)   Sell a European put option; sell the same stock; buy a European call option.

Correct answer is B)

According to put-call parity we can write a riskless pure-discount bond position as:
X/(1+Rf)T = P0 + S0 – C0.

We can then read off the right-hand side of the equation to create a synthetic position in the riskless pure-discount bond. We would need to buy the European put, buy the same underlying stock, and sell the European call.

Correct answer is B)

According to put-call parity we can write a European call as: C0 = P0 + S0 – X/(1+Rf)T

We can then read off the right-hand side of the equation to create a synthetic position in the call. We would need to buy the European put, buy the stock, and short or issue a riskless pure-discount bond equal in value to the present value of the exercise price.
