Thew only reason I can think of for describing the
button with an adjective would be if they were 
labeled that way, either on a panel or in a UI.
For example, if there were five buttons, labeled
"1" through "5," with a bracket around them labeled 
"Options."

Why not just call the thing a "button"?  At least that way, no reader
will ever have to look in a glossary to discover whether the vague
"option" adjective is actually meaningful.
