　　答案解析：選c
　　Basis risk occurs when a derivativesinstrument used to hedge a position does not exactly correspond to the positionbeing hedged. Hedging jet-fuel with oil futures and hedging Spanish natural gasfutures for delivery in Louisiana are not perfect hedges and arc thereforesubject to basis risk. Basis risk -an also occur when the maturity of the underlyingposition and the maturity of the derivative used to hedge are significantly different.Stack hedges, in which multiple future liabilities are hedged with a single neat-termfutures contract, are subject to basis risk. Strip hedges match the dates ofthe underlying position and the derivatives positions and, assuming thecommodity in the futures contract matched the commodity to be hedged, are notsubject to basis risk.
