HTML Option <option> tag is used for defining option shown in a dropdown list in <datalist> or <select> element. At least one <option> Tag should be inserted therein a dropdown list.

We usually require the value attribute but <option> tag can be used without any attribute to mention what we need to send to the server.

We can group the related options by using <optgroup> tag if we have a long list of options.
