To write a call option, an investor sells the right to buy a specific stock at a set price within a certain time frame. This creates an obligation for the investor to sell the stock if the buyer chooses to exercise the option.
To exercise a call option, the option holder can buy the underlying asset at the strike price before the option's expiration date.
In both cases, you will have to provide the stocks to the counterparty if the option is exercised. There are two differences. First is the nature of the option. Calls are exercised when the stock spot price exceeds the call's strike price. Puts are exercised when the stock spot price is below the put's strike price. The other is, if you write a call you don't get to decide whether it gets exercised--the buyer does. If you buy a put, the choice to exercise it is yours.
Buying a call option gives you the right to buy a stock at a specific price, while selling a call option obligates you to sell a stock at a specific price.
The call option graph shows how potential profits from buying a call option change with different stock prices. It illustrates the relationship between stock prices and the potential profits that can be made from the call option.

If you are "called" on your short option you will have to sell the Underlying contract for that option at the option's strike price, which will likely be the stock itself. You will then have two positions; a long LEAPO and a short stock. http://www.optiontradingtips.com/strategies/covered-call.html

A call option allows its purchaser to buy ("call in") stocks at a certain price on a certain date--say, 100 shares of Walmart for $50 on November 1. A put option allows its purchaser to sell ("put") stocks on a certain price for a certain date. The seller of the option has to buy them (in a put) or sell them (in a call) if the option is exercised.
The holder/purchaser/owner of a call option contract has the right to buy an asset (or call the asset away) from a writer/seller of a call option contract at the pre-determined contract or strike price. The holder/purchaser/owner of a call option contract expects the price of the underlying asset to rise during the term or duration of the call contract, for as the value of the underlying asset increases so does the value of the call option contract. Conversely, the write/seller of a call option contract expects the price of the underlying asset to remain stable or to decline. The holder/purchaser/owner of a put option contract has the right to sell an asset (or put the asset) to a writer/seller of a put option contract at the pre-determined contract or strike price. The holder/purchaser/owner of a put option contract expects the price of the underlying asset to decline during the term or duration of the put contract, for as the value of the underlying asset declines the contract value increases. Conversely, the writer/seller of a put option contract expects the price of the underlying asset to remain stable or to rise.
