Andrew,
"The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) [1] provides a framework
for passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network.
Configuration parameters and other control information are carried in
tagged data items that are stored in the 'options' field of the DHCP
message. The data items themselves are also called 'options.'"
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2132.html
Default-gateway and subnet mask are examples of common options.
There are many more options, many of which are vendor specific. Here's
a reference on Microsoft's site (watch the wrap):
