Example sentences using "Option"
Q:
Please show me example sentences with which option is correct and WHY ? If you don't afraid... If you are not afraid....
A:
Correct:
If you are not afraid / If you aren't afraid
Why:
The word "afraid" in English is not a verb. It's an adjective. We therefore cannot put the auxiliary verb "do" in front of it with "not" to create a negative sentence. Instead, since the term is used in the set expression "to be afraid," and since the main verb in the sentence is "to be," we make the sentence negative by following the typical rules for "to be" (adding the word "not" after the verb).

What is the difference between There is an option for the submission of job as per user’s choice. and There is a choice for the submission of job as per user’s requirement. ?
A:
"There is an option for the submission of job as per user's choice."
Meaning that you can choose out of a couple different options to how you submit your job of choice. Choice meaning you have a say in choosing.
"There is a choice for the submission of job as per user's requirement."
Choice and option mean the same thing. Option would be used more formally or in a serious situation. Such as a business email. In a sentence you would say,

Or
"Make sure your making the right choice."
Now requirement is something that you have to do. No exceptions. You are required to clean the tables if you work at a cafeteria. You are required to submit that job. Or in this case of the sentence, 'you can submit the job as per user's requirement' would mean to your liking or as you want.

Other questions about "Option"
Q:
What option is right - "an B2 level of English" or "a B2 level of English", and why?
A:
The second is correct.
For individual letters of the alphabet, whether they are preceded by "a" or "an" depends on the way in which the letter is pronounced.
The letter "b" is pronounced "bee", so it is preceded by "a".
The letter "f", although it is a consonant, is pronounced as "ef" and would therefore be preceded by "an".
Likewise, the letter "h", as it is pronounced "aitch", would be preceded by "an".
The letter "l", another consonant, is pronounced "el" and so is preceded by "an".
The letter "u", a vowel is preceded by "a", because on its own it is pronounced "you", a hard consonant sound.

A:
All of them work! Regarding which and what, English is just a bit special in that the word “what” can be used in place of “which” in pretty much all contexts. For instance, many languages require you to ask “which is your favourite colour”. English allows that option, and also “what is your favourite colour” (which is much more common). They mean the same! You can almost always replace which with what
