Put Option:

Holder of Put option will have right to sell underlying asset at the agreed price ( Strike Price). As he is receiving right, he needs to pay premium to writer of Put option. Holder of put option will exercise the right, when expected future spot price < Strike Price. Then writer of option has obligation to buy at the strike Price. Holder will go for put option, if he is bearish.

If the Future SPot Price < Strike Price - In the Money
If the Future SPot Price = Strike Price - At the Money
If the Future SPot Price > Strike Price - Out of the Money

Today StockPrice = $ 120

STrike Price of Option 1 = $ 110

Strike Price of option 2 is $ 100

If Strike Price > Stock Price, Put option will be at" In the Monry Position".

Hence Neither Option is "In the Position" today.

Option B is correct.
