Research direction

Start by locating Function#OPTION_INVOKING_METHOD and the public invoke method that accepts options, then inspect how the field's visibility affects that API. Done means the option field is publicly accessible as requested and the existing project tests still pass.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The field in Function#OPTION_INVOKING_METHOD should be public as it is required when using the public method invoke in the same class with the options argument.
