SELECTED: this option is selected by default

<OPTION ...> is used along with <SELECT ...> to create select lists. <OPTION ...> indicates the start of a new option in the list. <OPTION ...> can be used without any attributes, but you usually need the VALUE attribute, which indicates what is sent to the server. The text which follows <OPTION ...> is what is displayed in the browser:
