Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
An Asian call option gives the holder the right to buy the underlying asset at a price determined by the average stock price during some specified portion of the option's life. This type of option is different from a European call option, which allows the holder to exercise the option only on the expiration date. Therefore, B is the correct answer.
