@Amit Gelbhart I started checking out the options to advise my students (I am a private tutor).

Astrophysics seems interesting and accessible, but requires a little imagination 

Relativity, fascinating but conceptually heavy and with tough calculus,

Engineering, interesting and diverse, but a lot ground covered (much to remember)

Imaging, accessible but boring (We share that point of view!).

I advise usually to go for Astrophysics, especially for those with imagination (it helps!).

Remember that you are the one in front of the paper at the exam, not the teacher or the other students. I do not think anything prevents you from choosing your option of choice independently from your teacher's choice...

Engineering Physics is a completely new Option. Where can I find exam type questions from this topic (except the Specimen Paper)?

Unfortunately, there are no IB exam questions about rotational motion or fluid dynamics. However, there are plenty of exam questions on thermodynamics and forced oscillations, as they used to be part of AHL material in the previous syllabus.
