My Samsung Galaxy Tab A (model number SM-P550 if you want to know the specs, Android version 6.0.1) will not allow me to "unhide" or "unlock" my developer options no matter how many times i tap the build number. On another note i am unable to root my device and because i do not currently own a pc and i have tried every mobile rooting technique i could find, thank you for adressing this issue. Edit - so i finnally figured it out, this device has many "accounts" and you can only access thing like the dev options on the "owner" but i was using "guest" but i still cannot root but im sure i will figure it out eventually, thank all of you for your suggestions and help!

Every Android should be able to get developer options. Wrichik Basu's comment says how to show developer options. However OEM Unlocking (first step to root) is disabled on basically all Samsung phones.

Can you access recovery if yes then click apply update via adb...then do a Fastboot into a custom adb enabled recovery like twrp or cwm
$ fastboot boot /tmp/cwm.zip
Or
$fastboot flash recover twrp.img
After booting into recovery you can have your ADB enable also then you can root your device
