ii. Buy one call option on BT stock with a strike price of $21 that expires in 1 year. Sell a put option on BT stock with a strike price of $21 that also expires in 1 year.

iii. Enter into a one-year forward contract on BT. This contract obligates you to buy one share of BT stock for $21 at the end of 1 year, no matter what the price turns out to be.
