Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Recall Selenium Select usage
Select class provides selectByVisibleText method to select dropdown options by text.
Step 2: Evaluate options
public void selectByText(String text) { new Select(dropdown).selectByVisibleText(text); } correctly creates Select object and calls selectByVisibleText. Others misuse dropdown or locator.
Final Answer:
public void selectByText(String text) { new Select(dropdown).selectByVisibleText(text); } -> Option B
Quick Check:
Select class + selectByVisibleText = public void selectByText(String text) { new Select(dropdown).selectByVisibleText(text); } [OK]

Quick Trick: Use Select class and selectByVisibleText for dropdowns [OK]
