Where is the Time Machine Options Button when using multiple drives?

No Options Button to choose which disc (of 2) to view. (Monterey 12)


I have 2 HDDs for my Time Machine. Both are working but when I follow the directions to change the view between the two drives, I do not get an 'Options' button as described in the attached:

If you use multiple backup disks, you can see timelines for all disks or for an individual disk.

To see a timeline for all backup disks: Click the Time Machine icon  in the menu bar, then choose Enter Time Machine. 

To see the timeline for a specific backup disk: Click the Time Machine icon  in the menu bar, press the Option key, then choose Browse Other Backup Disks.

The Option key is on your keyboard. In some regions, it says alt instead of opt. Or, it may just have a symbol. It should be left of the Command key.
