The SELECT tag allows the user to select a single item from number of options. Unlike the radio button, the SELECT tag does not provide
any default option that is to be transmitted to the server when no option is selected by the user. The options are written within the opening
and the closing tags of the SELECT tag by using the OPTION tag.
