Question

Which of the following tag is used to define options in a drop-down selection list?

Options

• <select>

• <list>

• <dropdown>

• <option>

Answer 1

<option>

Explanation:

The <select> and <option> tag pair is used to generate a drop-down selection list. Below is an example:

<form action="://gmail.com" method="get">
  <select name="stream">
    <option value="science">Science</option>
    <option value="commerce">Commerce</option>
    <option value="humanities">Humanities</option>
  </select>
  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

A selection drop-down list is specified by the <select> tag, while the different options that can be chosen from are specified by the <option> tag.
