How Does the Strike Price Relate to a Call Option’s ITM Status?

For a call option to be In-The-Money (ITM), the current price of the underlying asset must be higher than the option's strike price. The lower the strike price relative to the current price, the deeper ITM the call option is.

This difference determines the intrinsic value.
