Selenium Java - Handling Form Elements

Given the following code snippet, what will be the selected option's visible text after execution?

WebElement dropdown = driver.findElement(By.id("colors"));
Select select = new Select(dropdown);
select.selectByIndex(2);
String selected = select.getFirstSelectedOption().getText();

Assuming the dropdown options are:
0: Red
1: Green
2: Blue
3: Yellow

A"Blue"

B"Red"

C"Yellow"

D"Green"

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand selectByIndex behavior
selectByIndex(2) selects the option at index 2, counting from 0.
Step 2: Map index to option text
Index 0 = Red, 1 = Green, 2 = Blue, so the selected option is "Blue".
Final Answer:
"Blue" -> Option A
Quick Check:
Index 2 = Blue [OK]

Quick Trick: Index starts at 0, so 2 means third option [OK]

Common Mistakes:
