The option allows you to buy it at a set price.
So if the actual price rises, you profit, because by exercising the option, you buy at the set price and immediately sell at the (now higher) actual price.

Ok but how. Lets say I now own 2 million rolls of toilet paper that I bought below market price. Who buys them? A competing toilet paper company?

You buy options on the stock, not the product itself.
There will be plenty of people willing to buy the shares, regardless of price.

presumably, in this hypothetical physical toilet paper options market, you would sell them to some kind of toilet paper retailer who will make money off them by selling them to consumers

you could sell the option to buy toilet paper at the lower price. or you could exercise the option, buy the toilet paper, then sell it.

people will buy your option though.

Where could a person buy said options?

What you're talking about is deliverable futures.
Not options.
You can have an option on a deliverable future however.

idk bro whatever trading service you use. these would be called in-the-money options so just look for them on your brokerage website.
