I believe the better technical answer would be user. This option does not mount the filesystem during boot, but will allow any user to mount the device after the system has booted.

I do not agree. The option to not automount a system is automount. According to documentation, user option only implies noexec, nosuid and nodev (unless specified the opposite options)
