Changing any sort of input into the modus operandi of the option pricing will bring about a change in the option price; however the most vital ones are the price of the underlying security, time they have until expiration, as well as their volatility. Given the fact volatility is such a perplexing and obscure kind of input, we are going to be getting into that subject a tad bit more.
