Summary: It is shown that the Black-Scholes Model can 
be obtained as the continuous time limit of a Binomial 
model with suitable returns. As a consequence, exact 
payoff replication is also possible in the Black-Scholes 
model. More mathematically phrased, the Black-Scholes 
model is a complete model. Furthermore, for a non-path 
dependent option payoff, we derive a one-dimensional 
integral representation for its theoretical fair value, 
for the option price.
