I remember studying this, and I'm pretty sure it's $1.75. That's the price for a maintenance margin call.

This question is a piece of cake! A trader long in wheat would get a margin call if the price drops below the maintenance level. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

D) $1.75 seems too low. The maintenance margin call would be triggered at a higher price to give the trader a chance to add more funds before getting liquidated.

I think the answer is B) $2.05. That's the point where the trader's position would be under-margined and they'd need to add more funds to their account.
