If the spot price of the stock exceeds the "strike price" in the call option, the option is in-the-money and you can exercise it.

In order to make money on this option, the stock price needs to be over $42--enough to pay for the stock and replace the money you spent buying the option.

What is the difference between a call option and a put option?
A call option gives the option buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy a certain amount of stock on or before a certain date for a certain price.

If you bought a put, you're hoping the stock price falls below the strike price--the certain price in the contract. It would make no sense to sell stock for $10 a share if it's $15 now, right? Calls exercise when their stock price goes above the strike price.
