Explain the Term ‘In-the-Money’ for a Call Option.

A call option is 'in-the-money' (ITM) when the current price of the underlying asset is higher than the option's strike price. This means the option holder could exercise the right to buy the asset at the lower strike price and immediately sell it at the higher market price for a profit (before premium cost).
