Selenium Java - Handling Form Elements

You wrote this code to select a checkbox:

WebElement cb = driver.findElement(By.id("option1"));
if (cb.isSelected()) {
    cb.click();
}

But the checkbox remains unselected after running. What is the error?

AThe condition should check if checkbox is NOT selected before clicking.

BYou should use <code>cb.select()</code> instead of <code>cb.click()</code>.

CThe locator By.id("option1") is incorrect.

DYou need to use <code>cb.isEnabled()</code> before clicking.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze the condition logic
The code clicks the checkbox only if it is already selected, which unchecks it.
Step 2: Understand desired action
To select the checkbox, click it only if it is NOT selected.
Step 3: Correct the condition
Change condition to if (!cb.isSelected()) { cb.click(); } to select checkbox.
Final Answer:
The condition should check if checkbox is NOT selected before clicking. -> Option A
Quick Check:
Click only if not selected to select [OK]

Quick Trick: Click checkbox only if it is not selected [OK]
