i any event the default of an exchange listed options contract is not an option so to speak...albeit the possibility exists that individual parties (naked shorts) to the listed contracts may get into trouble...
no market dislocation has yet resulted in problems(aside from vanishing trading liquidity ), no matter how big the move.

unfortunately there is little true insight into the degree of systemic risk available. one can only infer from the sheer size of the notional amounts of outstanding derivative contracts that it may be substantial.
