xpath for selecting <option> html tag ?

Question

xpath for selecting html tag ?

<select>
<option value="first option"> 1 </option>
<option value="second option"> 2 </option>
<option value="third option"> 3 </option>
</select>

Would below suffice ?

html/body/form/select[@name='options' and @value='first option']

Answer 1

Several options here:

• /html/body/form/select/option
• /html/body/form/select/option[1]
• /html/body/form/select/option[position() = 1]
• /html/body/form/select/option[@value='first option']

All these lead to first option element
