Morphology
The meaning 'a choice available for investing money' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'investment' (committing money expecting benefit) with 'option' (a selectable choice); a learner who knows both words can readily infer this noun–noun compound. This is a productive, cross-linguistically common compositional pattern, so it should be immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Investment option brings two simple ideas together: investment means putting money into something and option means a choice, so imagine a menu of places like stocks, bonds, or houses where you can put your money. That's why it means a specific choice you can pick when you want to 'invest' your money.
