why does my Mac show up when a call comes in onmy iphone
When a call comes in on my phone, it has my Mac listed as an option along w speaker and iPhone. It looks like it connected by Bluetooth but it isn’t.

That is Continuity. The following from Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support has instructions on what is required for it to be on:
Use iPhone Cellular Calls with any Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that meets the Continuity system requirements. It works when your devices are near each other and set up as follows:
- Each device is signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID.
- Each device is signed in to FaceTime with the same Apple ID.
- Each device has Wi-Fi turned on.
- Each device is connected to the same network using Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
- On iPhone, go to Settings > Phone > Calls on Other Devices, then turn on Allow Calls on Other Devices.
- On iPad or iPod touch, go to Settings > FaceTime, then turn on Calls from iPhone.
- On Mac, open the FaceTime app, then choose FaceTime > Preferences. Click Settings, then select Calls From iPhone.
If your carrier supports Wi-Fi calling on other devices, you can set up those devices to make and receive calls even when your iPhone isn't turned on or nearby. Learn about Wi-Fi calling.

Do the opposite of what was required to turn it on from my previous reply -- see below but where it says "turn on" turn off instead; in the 3rd item below instead of select, deselect.
- On iPhone, go to Settings > Phone > Calls on Other Devices, then turn on Allow Calls on Other Devices.
- On iPad or iPod touch, go to Settings > FaceTime, then turn on Calls from iPhone.
- On Mac, open the FaceTime app, then choose FaceTime > Preferences. Click Settings, then select Calls From iPhone.
I would like to remove it as an option on my phone when a call comes in.
Before continuity became a "thing", we answered the phone with either speaker or simply put the phone to our ear.
Now, it automatically includes Mac computer as an option which keeps us from pushing the speaker button. Instead we go to the bluetooth button on the call screen and press speaker.
I am wanting to eliminate my computer as being an option to answering a call.
How do I eliminate that altogether.
