STOCK OPTIONS

Twenty years ago, the biggest component of executive compensation was cash, in the form of salaries and bonuses. Stock options were just a footnote. Now the reverse is true. With astounding speed, stock option grants have come to dominate the pay - and often the wealth - of top executives throughout the United States. Last year, Jack Welch's unexercised GE options were valued at more than $260 million. Intel CEO Craig Barrett's were worth more than $100 million. Michael Eisner exercised 22 million options on Disney stock in 1988 alone, netting more than a half-billion dollars. In total, U.S. executives hold unexercised options worth tens of billions of dollars.

What does the verb net refer to in the following sentence:

"...netting more than a half - billion dollars".

  • A. The gain when all expenses have been paid.
  • B. An amount of money earned in total.
  • C. The gain made before the expenses are paid.
  • D. Total earnings, before deductions are made.
  • E. Partial gain due to the market losses.
