I think the ONLY option is better, more clear, and more consistent with the
rest of the documentation.

There are only ~5 places where we say "the option >OPTION<":
| git grep 'the option <' doc/src/sgml/

And at least 150 places where we say "The >OPTION< option" (I'm sure there are
some more which are split across lines).
| git grep -E 'the <([^>]*)>[^<]*</\1> option' doc/src/sgml/ |wc -l
