htaccess redirect without specifying php file in browser line?

Question

htaccess

Good afternoon. I can't figure out how to do a redirect.
You need to redirect links containing the GET parameter 'option' to page 404.
I do this:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^option=(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule . - [R=404,L,NC]

But, the redirect works only if the link looks like this: site.com/ index.php ?option.....
And it doesn’t work if it’s like this: site.com/?option.....
Please tell me how the links of the second kind of redirect too?

Try this:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^option=(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /? [R=404,L,NC]
