There is no standard, universal object called options.

Most likely what's meant is that the library you're using happens to have a variable named options that has properties like remove, enable, and instance.

It's fairly common for library functions to take an options argument specifying... well... options — that is, supplementary settings the function can exploit. In cases where there are many variables you may want to set, a single object with those properties is cleaner than a function that takes a hundred ordered arguments.
