Shouting at zero locks in $S_0-K=-1$, producing terminal payoff $\max (S_2,100)-101$. Its pathwise values are 20 on $uu$ and $-1$ on each other path. Waiting and applying part (c) instead gives values 20 on $uu$, 9 on $ud$, and zero on $du,dd$. Therefore waiting dominates shouting now, strictly on events of positive probability.

Under the optimal binomial shout option with signed lock-in, discount the latter terminal payoffs using independent risk-neutral transitions:The time-one option value is $115/7$ after an up move and zero after a down move. These values also reproduce the price by one-step backward induction.

The recombining stock price 99 has two different claim payoffs, because $ud$ has an earlier lock-in while $du$ does not. Keeping the path history is essential.
