What is the difference between calls and puts options?

Calls and puts are two types of options in the Stock Market. A call option gives the holder the right to buy a stock at a specified price within a certain time frame, while a put option gives the holder the right to sell a stock at a specified price within a certain time frame. In simple terms, a call is a bet that the stock price will go up, while a put is a bet that the stock price will go down.
