Specifies an item in a selection list.
The option element is used to add items to a select element. If the select element that contains the option tag is placed within a submittable form, and the form is submitted, the contents of the value attribute of the selected option(s) will be sent to the server. If the value attribute is not specified, the text content of the option tag will be sent.
You can set the initial selected state with the SELECTED attribute.
