int counter = 0;
while(choices->compare("NULL") != NULL)
{
option[counter] = choices[counter];

you cannot have a variable be a size to a C style array.
use a vector if the size is unknown:
vector<string> option (choices->size());

If you actually don't want a vector (which is certainly preferred) you can also allocate the array dynamically:

string* option = new string[choices->size()];

You need to delete it somewhere when it is not longer needed though.
