# Load the parent option for suboptions

Use the literal `option` value in `params` when a suboption response must include its parent `ExtraOption`. The nested route already supplies `option_id`; the controller does not require a separate `extra_option_id` query parameter for this relation.

```text
GET /business/{business_id}/extras/{extra_id}/options/{option_id}/suboptions?params=option
```

Sanitized structural example:

```json
{
  "error": false,
  "result": [
    {
      "id": 172,
      "extra_option_id": 53,
      "name": "Example choice",
      "option": {
        "id": 53,
        "extra_id": 49,
        "name": "Example option",
        "extra": {
          "id": 49,
          "name": "Example extra"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

The example shows relation identity only; the response fields depend on the operation and requested `params`.
