Default How do I activate an option button?

When I right click the mouse when it is placed above the button, I get the
Format Control window. However, the control tab does not exist. Can you show
the step by step on how to link the option button?

Thanks

If not working as desired now by default, you need to create a group box and
have all your options buttons inside the box. This will force them to only
have 1 of the 4 selected at any one time. Then, go to format control, the
control tab, and in the cell link box, type
=$B$8

Let assume I have created 4 option buttons (from the control toolbox) and I
have named them as option1, option 2, option 3, and option 4
Let also assume that option 1 occupies cells D8 to F9, option 2 occupies
cells D12 to F13, option 3 in cells J8 to J9, and option 4 in cells J12 to J13
In cell B8, I want it to be equal to 1 if option 1 is selected, equal to 2
if option 2 is selected, 3 if option 3 is selected and 5 if option 4 is
selected
1. How do I activate an option button so that I can select either option 1,
2, 3 or 4? (If one option is selected, then the rest should be blank)
2. When one of the option is selected, how do assign my cell B8 with the
correct number?
