As described in the documentation you linked the namespace where the legend is configured is: options.plugins.legend, if you put it there it will work:

var options = {
  type: 'line',
  data: {
    labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
    datasets: [{
        label: '# of Votes',
        data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
        borderColor: 'pink'
      }
    ]
  },
  options: {
    plugins: {
      legend: {
        display: false
      }
    }
  }
}

var ctx = document.getElementById('chartJSContainer').getContext('2d');
new Chart(ctx, options);
<body>
  <canvas id="chartJSContainer" width="600" height="400"></canvas>
  <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Chart.js/3.5.0/chart.js"></script>
</body>

On another note, a big part of your options object is wrong, its in V2 syntax while you are using v3, please take a look at the migration guide

Reason why you get undefined as text in your legend is, is because you dont supply any label argument in your dataset.

in the newest versions this code works fine

const options = {
    plugins: {
      legend: {
        display: false,
      },
    },
  };
return <Doughnut data={data} options={options} />;

Import your options value inside the charts component like so:

const options = {
    legend: {
      display: false
    }
};

<Line data={data} options={options} />
