I have WordPress theme and I use get_the_date function to display post data :
<?php echo get_the_date( 'M-d-y' ); ?>
But it seems it will be better to use get_option( 'date_format' ).
How can I display post data using get_option function?

1have a look at the core code developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_the_date - it seems to indicate that leaving the date format empty calls in the option... – Michael Jul 12 '17 at 19:07
Calling get_the_date( get_option('date_format') ); will return the exact same value as get_the_date(); this is because by default if a date format is not specified when the function is called it will use get_option('date_format'); as can be seen from the following snippet taken from the get_the_date() function itself:
if ( '' == $d ) {
$the_date = mysql2date( get_option( 'date_format' ), $post->post_date );
} else {
$the_date = mysql2date( $d, $post->post_date );
}
