How to get values from options other than .getString()?

Hello, I am extremely new here and this is my last option, I looked all over the documentation and the guide to get an answer on how do i get the values that the options return with no avail, im still in the Advanced command building section in the guide so i'm not that knowledgeable, im sure this question was asked many times but any help would be appreciated (this includes the values returned from choices)

It's interaction.options.getX() X is the option type Do you have an error? Show it. Show your code too.

thank you, so does this include the values returned from choices too? i dont have any code in particular (i took the one in the guide for testing purposes)

const {SlashCommandBuilder} = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
    .setName('gifbot')
    .setDescription('Sends a random gif!')
    .addStringOption(option =>
        option.setName('category')
            .setDescription('The gif category')
            .setRequired(true)
            .addChoices(
                { name: 'Funny', value: 'gif_funny' },
                { name: 'Meme', value: 'gif_meme' },
                { name: 'Movie', value: 'gif_movie' },
            )
        ),
    async execute(interaction) {
        const values = interaction.options.getString("values");
        await interaction.reply(`/gif ${values}`);
    }
}

const {SlashCommandBuilder} = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
    .setName('gifbot')
    .setDescription('Sends a random gif!')
    .addStringOption(option =>
        option.setName('category')
            .setDescription('The gif category')
            .setRequired(true)
            .addChoices(
                { name: 'Funny', value: 'gif_funny' },
                { name: 'Meme', value: 'gif_meme' },
                { name: 'Movie', value: 'gif_movie' },
            )
        ),
    async execute(interaction) {
        const values = interaction.options.getString("values");
        await interaction.reply(`/gif ${values}`);
    }
}

so as im trying to understand. choices return a value that can be used in a particular way when the value is received, i can use it in my execute function

the very next section of the guide after "Advanced command creation" is the "Parsing options" section which covers this
