The put option premium is the price paid to purchase the put option. In this case, we can see from the option chain that the strike price is $98 and the bid price is $0.28. Since one option contract represents 100 shares, the total cost of one put option would be 100 * $0.28 = $28. However, the question asks for the put option premium per share, so we need to divide by 100 to get $0.28 per share. The final step is to subtract this from the strike price of $98, giving us a put option premium of $98 - $0.28 = $8.28. Therefore, the correct answer is choice C.
