Answer:

The answer is positively correlated with stock price and negatively correlated with strike price

Step-by-step explanation:

The holder of a call option expects the price of the underlying asset(the stock) to increase for him to exercise the right while he also hopes the price of the strike price(exercise price) will be lower than the stock price. If this happens the holder (long) of the call option gains. So because of this, the price of stock call option is positively correlated with the price of the underlying (stock price) while it is negatively correlated with the strike price(exercise price).
