Options contracts are instruments that give the holder of the instrument the right to buy or sell the underlying asset at a predetermined price. An option can be a 'call' option or a 'put' option.
A call option gives the buyer, the right to buy the asset at a given price.
Similarly a 'put' option gives the buyer a right to sell the asset at the 'strike price' to the buyer. Here the buyer has the right to sell and the seller has the obligation to buy.

I have a small query -
What is right issue? Is it simmilar to IPOs?
In order to get a Loan, you first need to prove that you don't need it.
Rights Issue is another way of raising capital from the market. The money is raised from the existing shareholders. No party except the existing shareholders can subscribe to it. And its not a compulsion on shareholders to subscribe.
It is intentionally priced below CMP. Otherwise it makes no sense for the shareholder to buy them. If its priced above CMP, then obviously it makes sense to buy from secondary mkt rather than subscribing to Rights.
What is Debenture?
The term is used in corporate finance for a medium to long-term debt instrument used by large companies to borrow money. In some countries the term is used interchangeably with bond, loan stock or note.
