Interest Rates Floors

I do not get the answer,

A floor on a floating rate note, from the bondholder’s perspective, is equivalent to:

a. owning a series of puts on fixed income securities.

b. writing a series of interest rate puts.

c. owning a series of calls on fixed income securities.

The answer is C!

why is that, is not the floor is equivalent to a buying a put!!

rate falls - bond price rises …

if it reaches floor = rates are falling – so bond price is rising … so it is a call …

The trick to the question is that C refers to the fixed income security, not the interest rate.
