Explain the Concept of ‘Greeks’ in Options Trading.

The 'Greeks' are a set of risk measures that quantify the sensitivity of an option's price to changes in underlying factors. Key Greeks include Delta (price change of the option relative to the underlying asset), Gamma (rate of change of Delta), Theta (time decay), and Vega (sensitivity to volatility).

Traders use them to manage and hedge their options portfolio risk.
