Ниже приведено мнение товарища Вебстера. О "параметрах" там совершенно ничего не сказано. Почему-то речь идёт только о "выборе" и "желании":
Option \Op"tion\, n. [L. optio; akin to optare to choose, wish, optimus best, and perh. to E. apt: cf. F. option.]
1. The power of choosing; the right of choice or election; an alternative.
There is an option left to the United States of America, whether they will be respectable and prosperous, or contemptible and miserable, as a nation. --Washington.
2. The exercise of the power of choice; choice.
Transplantation must proceed from the option of the people, else it sounds like an exile. --Bacon.
3. A wishing; a wish. [Obs.] --Bp. Hall.
4. (Ch. of Eng.) A right formerly belonging to an archbishop to select any one dignity or benefice in the gift of a suffragan bishop consecrated or confirmed by him, for bestowal by himself when next vacant; -- annulled by Parliament in 1845.
5. (Stock Exchange) A stipulated privilege, given to a party in a time contract, of demanding its fulfillment on any day within a specified limit.
{Buyer's option}, an option allowed to one who contracts to buy stocks at a certain future date and at a certain price, to demand the delivery of the stock (giving one day's notice) at any previous time at the market price.
{Seller's option}, an option allowed to one who contracts to deliver stock art a certain price on a certain future date, to deliver it (giving one day's notice) at any previous time at the market price. Such options are privileges for which a consideration is paid.
{Local option}. See under {Local}.
Syn: Choice; preference; selection.
Usage: {Option}, {Choice}. Choice is an act of choosing; option often means liberty to choose, and implies freedom from constraint in the act of choosing.
