I vaguely recall something about unrealized gains not being taxed, but I can't remember the specifics. This is confusing!

I remember a practice question about realized gains and losses, and it emphasized that they must be recognized for tax purposes. So I think the answer is A.

I think gains and losses are only recognized when they're realized, but I'm not entirely sure if that applies to all situations.

Wait, I'm confused. I thought European style options could be exercised at any time, not just at expiration. Let me double-check the definitions here.
