I think the net payoff would be -146 and -46 if Nifty closes at 2900.

I'm pretty sure the answer is B. If the Nifty closes at 2900, the option will be exercised, and Mr. XYZ will have to pay the difference of 300 (2900 - 2600), which is 146. But if it closes at 2400, he keeps the entire premium of 154. Simple enough!

Hmm, this seems straightforward. If the Nifty stays at 2600 or below, Mr. XYZ keeps the entire premium of Rs. 154. But if it goes up to 2900, he'll have to pay the difference, which is -146. Looks like option C is the way to go.
