A covered call refers to a situation in options trading where the call writer, i.e., the person selling the call option, holds the underlying asset. This is considered "covered" because if the option is exercised, the seller already holds the asset that they are obligated to sell. A long put refers to holding a put option as a buyer, while a short put refers to selling a put option without holding the underlying asset. A covered spread is not a commonly used term in options trading.
