Selenium Java - Handling Form Elements

How do you select the option at index 1 (second option) from a dropdown using Selenium Java's Select class?

Aselect.selectByIndex(1);

Bselect.selectByValue(1);

Cselect.selectByVisibleText("1");

Dselect.selectByIndex(2);

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand index-based selection
Indexing in Select starts at 0, so index 1 is the second option.
Step 2: Verify correct method and parameter
selectByIndex(1) selects the second option; selectByValue(1) looks for value="1"; selectByVisibleText("1") looks for visible text "1"; selectByIndex(2) selects third option.
Final Answer:
select.selectByIndex(1); -> Option A
Quick Check:
Index 1 means second option [OK]

Quick Trick: Index starts at 0, so second option is index 1 [OK]
