Retail-NC-v4 EQc6:Interior lighting

Does Option 2 apply to LEED for Retail?

Here is the Credit language "For at least 90% of the individual occupant spaces in office and administrative areas, provide individual lighting controls. In sales areas, provide controls that can reduce the ambient light levels to a midlevel (30% to 70% of the maximum illumination level not including daylight contributions)."

I am confused how one would know from reading the Credit language, that Option 2 (offering eight strategies) even exists, and applies to LEED for Retail. 

According to the Reference Manual, Options 1 and/or 2 apply to New Construction, Schools, Data Centers, Warehouses and Distribution Centers, Hospitality.

Would be most grateful for some enlightenment here.

Thanks!

In my opinion for retail the option is only one: "For at least 90% of the individual occupant spaces in office and administrative areas, provide individual lighting controls. In sales areas, provide controls that can reduce the ambient light levels to a midlevel (30% to 70% of the maximum illumination level not including daylight contributions)."

Does this give you one or two points in the credit? Does anyone know?
