How to check options for null?

I have this:

var options = Configuration.GetSection(nameof(Patterns));
services.Configure<Patterns>(options);

var options = Configuration.GetSection(nameof(Patterns));
services.Configure<Patterns>(options);

in controller:

public ZeebeController(
  KafkaSettings kafkaSettings,
  IZeebeClient zeebeClient,
  IOptions<Patterns> options)
{ 
}

public ZeebeController(
  KafkaSettings kafkaSettings,
  IZeebeClient zeebeClient,
  IOptions<Patterns> options)
{ 
}

all I want is check options from startup for null but I can't just write

if(options == null)

if(options == null)
