Select (Dropdown)
also known as Dropdown, Drop-down list, Picker
A select, or dropdown, shows a closed control that expands into a list of predefined options when clicked, letting the user choose exactly one. It restricts input to the provided choices and is ideal for a known, finite set of values. The chosen value replaces the collapsed control's text.

Don't confuse it with
A select lets users only pick from the fixed list; a combobox adds a text field so users can type to filter or enter a custom value; autocomplete is a text input that suggests matches as you type. A multiselect allows choosing several options at once.
