Enable Drag And Drop Not Working

Hello everyone, so I am trying to Enable Drag and Drop for images, files, etc. I keep seeing videos, pictures on more on how to do it, and almost always it says: 1- Go to System Preferences. 2- Go to accessibility. 3- Click on Mouse and trackpad. 4- From there, enable drag and drop.

I did everything correctly, but when I click on Mouse and Trackpad, All I see is Mouse Options, I do not see Trackpad Options, which is what I need to enable drag and drop.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), System preferences Mac.

Drag and drop files using touch pad I used to be able to click on a file without it opening, then hold down on the touch pad, and drag the file to a new window. Now, clicking on the file simply (and annoyingly) opens it. Particularly when I'm, for instance, trying to move a photo from my download folder or desktop to an app like Mailchimp. Where do I fix this? I already tried touchpad in System Preferences. This process use to work (drag & drop -- not system preferences) and no longer does. Help please. thank you.
