The "option" is a phrase often used by the RAF during training flights when the pilot may be practicing an approach where the Instructor/Examiner may have a different intention, not necessarily known to the pilot. It essentially tells ATC that the approach could be result in either a landing or a go-around. It has no relevance in the AFIS environment and there is no civilian equivalent.
