Could you please explain how one might go about neutralizing delta in options trading? As an investor, I understand that delta represents the sensitivity of an option's price to changes in the underlying asset's price, but I'm unsure of the specific strategies or techniques that can be employed to offset or neutralize this exposure. Could you elaborate on some of the common methods used to achieve this, and the potential benefits and drawbacks of each approach?
