An in-the-money option means that the option is giving profit and can be exercised by the option holder.

In case of call option, an option is in the money when stock price is more than strike price.

In case of put option, an option is in the money when the strike price is more than stock price.

In the first diagram of long call, as the stock price goes above strike price , the call option goes in the money and the option is exercised.

In the second diagram of long put, till the strike price is above stock price, the option is in the money, and it is exercised.
