}

Method Name: getAllSelectedOptions

se.selectByVisibleText("HTC");
//To get all the options that are selected in the dropdown.
List<WebElement> allSelectedOptions = se.getAllSelectedOptions();
for (WebElement webElement : allSelectedOptions)

}

Method Name: getFirstSelectedOption

Syntax: Select.getFirstSelectedOption();
Returns: WebElement
