I had the same issue and I did this and it worked:
Add 3 options and go to your database. Search for any of those options, when you find them, go to the table it is in. You won’t be able to see the options but just the field name. Export the table you found the options in, in CSV format. When you download the exported file, add your options to it and fill up the other columns in the same way that the other columns were filled for the other 3 options. Then import your file in the same place you exported the same file and voila, you’re done 🙂
