German term or phrase: [eine Option] ziehen (here)

This is in a Lastenheft for an on-train Wi-Fi system, but is not a technical question. I expect this means 'checked' or 'selected' but I can find no relevant hits on Google or Linguee, so it could be useful to clarify this for the future.

Here it is. Note that the quotation marks are in the original text:

Glossar
Die Bezeichnungen der Verbindlichkeit in diesem Dokument folgt folgenden Regeln:
Das Wort "Soll" bezeichnet [...]
Das Wort "Muss" bezeichet [...]
Das Wort "Option" bezeichnet eine Option. Ob eine Option erfüllt werden muss oder nicht wird explizit in der Beauftragung festgelegt (Option ***"gezogen"*** oder nicht).
Ist eine Option ***"gezogen"***, so ist sie als "Soll" zu behandeln.
Optionen können Unterpunkte haben, die wiederum als "Soll" oder "Muss" bezeichnet sind.
Diese gelten nur dann, wenn die übergeordnete Option ***gezogen*** wurde, ansonsten fallen diese Punkte weg.

option exercised

Explanation:
it's the same as "Option in Anspruch genommen". Just a different term. Used in soccer all the time, but it has the same meaning in your context.
