"Will the firm agree to ..." If you use the word option that implies there is a choice of other payment terms. So yes, use term. Or rephrase the sentence: "Will the firm accept our terms for payment in one week?"– Weather VaneFeb 21, 2020 at 14:24

I think accept to [verb] is a non-standard usage (but agree to [verb] is fine). We normally accept [noun], so you should have a "nouny / gerundy" complement: Will they accept working with us...?– FumbleFingersFeb 21, 2020 at 17:11

I think term might be better since the word 'option' is more associated with multiple options rather than a singular one.
Other than that, I would also change some of the other words too:
Will the firm agree to work with us with a payment term of one week?
