When this functionality is enabled, the option sets will not be imported. The options will appear on your storefront in the dropdown type.

Error in importing the option sets
If you have selected the Show always checkbox, you won't be able to import the option sets. 
The Show always checkbox is selected to show the default variant on the storefront. If you try to import the option sets after enabling the Show always checkbox, you will receive an error "Some options were not imported as they were not eligible for variants!" as shown in the image below.
