The the existing spot price relative to the strike price, the valuable the call options will be.

The Higher the existing spot price relative to the strike price the more valuable the call options will be.

Explanation:

Spot price simply refers to how much a particular stock is trading in the market (that is, Market Price of the Stock).

Strike Price, also known as exercise price, is the price at which a person (corporate or individual) can purchase security.

Call options refers to the option to purchase an asset at an agreed price prior to/or at a particular day.

If for instance an employee is presented with Stock Options at a particular price, it will be more attractive for him or her if the price at which it is being offered is lower than it's actual market value. That way, he or she has already made a profit.

For example, if the spot price for the stock of Google is $2000/Unit and it is offered to an employee at $1450, if he elects to buy it at that time, he stands a chance to make $550 on each unit that if he sells whilst the spot price is still reasonable.
