How Does the Risk-Neutral Probability Concept Relate to Delta?

In the Black-Scholes framework, the Delta of a call option is mathematically equal to the cumulative probability distribution function N(d1), which is the risk-neutral probability that the option will expire in-the-money. This probability is derived under the assumption that the expected return on the underlying asset is the risk-free rate.
