There is no minimum investment required to begin options trading as it depends on the type of contract and the premium. Options contracts are available in lot sizes which differ from stock to stock. So, you pay a premium for at least 1 lot if you wish to take the trade. In simple terms, the minimum investment required for buying an option contract would be the premium paid in addition to brokerage and other charges. While selling an option contract you would need to maintain margin money in your trading account as decided by the exchange.
Deciding whether options trading or stock trading is better totally depends on your financial goals, risk tolerance, and trading experience.
