Below is the sample code to retrieve existing Global Option sets along with Option text & values using RetrieveAllOptionSetsRequest :

var retrieveAllOptionSetsRequest = new RetrieveAllOptionSetsRequest();

RetrieveAllOptionSetsResponse retrieveAllOptionSetsResponse = (RetrieveAllOptionSetsResponse)orgService.Execute(retrieveAllOptionSetsRequest);

if (retrieveAllOptionSetsResponse.OptionSetMetadata.Count() > 0){
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
foreach (OptionSetMetadataBase optionSetMetadataBase in retrieveAllOptionSetsResponse.OptionSetMetadata){
if (optionSetMetadataBase.OptionSetType != null){
if ((OptionSetType)optionSetMetadataBase.OptionSetType == OptionSetType.Picklist){
OptionSetMetadata optionSetMetadata = (OptionSetMetadata)optionSetMetadataBase;
sb.AppendLine(“OptionSetDisplayName – ” + ((optionSetMetadata.DisplayName.LocalizedLabels.Count > 0) ? optionSetMetadata.DisplayName.LocalizedLabels[0].Label : String.Empty));
sb.AppendLine(“***************************************************”);

foreach (OptionMetadata option in optionSetMetadata.Options){
sb.AppendLine(“Option”);
sb.AppendLine(“OptionValue – ” + option.Value.ToString());
sb.AppendLine(“OptionDescription – ” + option.Label.UserLocalizedLabel.Label.ToString());
}
}
else if ((OptionSetType)optionSetMetadataBase.OptionSetType == OptionSetType.Boolean){
BooleanOptionSetMetadata optionSetMetadata = (BooleanOptionSetMetadata)optionSetMetadataBase;
// Start OptionSet Node
//metadataWriter.WriteAttributeString(“OptionSetType”, OptionSetType.Boolean.ToString());
if (optionSetMetadata.DisplayName.LocalizedLabels.Count != 0)
sb.AppendLine(“OptionSetDisplayName – ” + optionSetMetadata.DisplayName.LocalizedLabels[0].Label);
else
sb.AppendLine(“OptionSetDisplayName – ” + “UNDEFINED”);

sb.AppendLine(“**************************************************”);

// Writes the TrueOption
sb.AppendLine(“TrueOption”);
sb.AppendLine(“OptionValue – ” + optionSetMetadata.TrueOption.Value.ToString());
sb.AppendLine(“OptionDescription – ” + optionSetMetadata.TrueOption.Label.UserLocalizedLabel.Label.ToString());
sb.AppendLine(“FalseOption”);
sb.AppendLine(“OptionValue – ” + optionSetMetadata.FalseOption.Value.ToString());
sb.AppendLine(“OptionDescription – ” + optionSetMetadata.FalseOption.Label.UserLocalizedLabel.Label.ToString());
}
}
sb.AppendLine(string.Empty);
}

Console.WriteLine(sb.ToString());

Output would be
