Explain the Concept of ‘Delta Hedging’.

Delta Hedging is an options strategy used to reduce or eliminate the directional risk associated with price movements of the underlying asset. It involves taking an opposite position in the underlying asset (or another derivative) to offset the Delta of the option position, aiming for a portfolio Delta of zero (Delta-neutral).

This requires frequent rebalancing as Delta changes.
