Counterparty risk equity options

Shweser mock says although a forward conversion with options avoids counterparty risk, the equity forward sale and the total return equity swap use a derivatives dealer and thus include counterparty risk. How does a forward conversion with options not have counterparty risk? It is equivalent to a forward but uses options. Options are exchange traded and have a clearinghouse which eliminates counterparts risk.

How do you know if the options are OTC or exchange traded? I thought puts and calls were all OTC but clearly not.
