Call option:

A call option is an agreement that gives the buyer the right to buy a stock at a pre-specified price within a pre-specified period. The stock on which the call option is provided is called the underlying asset.

Intrinsic value of a call option: The intrinsic value of a call option is the value of 'S-X' where 'S' is the prevailing price of the stock and 'X' is the exercise price. So, more the price of stock, more the intrinsic value of the call option.
