Answer 1

from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType

ct = ContentType.objects.get_for_model(option_instance)
print(ct.app_label)

or

option_instance._meta.app_label

Answer 2

If you have an instance of your object, you can quite easily get the app_label from _meta

o = Option.objects.all()[0]
print o._meta.app_label

There is a host of other usefull information in there. In the shell type help(a._meta) to see them all
