Answer:
The <u>higher</u> the existing spot price relative to the strike price, the <u>less</u> valuable the call options will be.
Explanation:
Call options refer to financial contracts in which the buyer of the option has the right, but not obligation, to buy asset or instrument at an already agreed price on or before a particular date. The particular date is also known as the expiration date.
The strike price is refers to the price at which a put or call option can be exercised on or before a particular date.
The spot price refers the current market price at which an instrument or asset is bought or sold now for immediate payment and delivery.
The relationship between the strike price and the spot price is that a call option is most valuable when the strike price is higher than the spot price. At this point, the call option is said to be in the money (ITM). On the other hand, a call option is least valuable when the strike price is lower than the spot price. At this point, the call option is said to be out of the money (OTM).
Based on the explantion above, therefore, the <u>higher</u> the existing spot price relative to the strike price, the <u>less</u> valuable the call options will be.
