From the Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications:

radio button Refers to option button, the round buttons in dialog boxes
that users select to make one choice from among several items. Do not use in
end-user documentation; use option or the specific name of the option
instead. Avoid in technical documentation. If necessary for a particular
technical audience or to maintain consistency with previous documentation,
use option button, noting on first use that it's also called radio button,
and include in the index as a synonym for option button.
