what does " options" mean here?

Hello, 

I am working on the investment section of my  tax return. 

I have STOCK sold on my 1099-b.

Can anybody tell me what does "options" here mean?

People told me since the payer is Merrill who issued this 1099-b, it is a bank. I should choose stock( non-employee)

 

Is that correct?

 

Thanks
