Hope this works-

Answer 3

Hi please do it like below Note this example is in java
// take check boxes with same name inside the list
List<WebElement> myCheckBox = driver.findElements(By.name("selectedNavigationCategoryPath"));
// now on the basis of index call click
myCheckBox.get(0).click(); // for the first check box
Thread.sleep(2000);
myCheckBox.get(1).click(); // for the second check box
or if you want to select on the basis of value then
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#value='firstValue']")).click(); // for the 1st one
Thread.sleep(2000);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#value='secondValue']")).click(); // for the 2st one
UPDATE
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,30);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//*[#value='firstValue']")));
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[#value='firstValue']")).click(); // for the 1st one
Hope this helps you

Answer 4

driver.findElement(By.name("selectedNavigationCategoryPath")).click();

Answer 5

Below Code is in C#, Collects all the Checkboxes with the name specified. Then Iterates through each ckeckbox, gets the value attribute, if the attribute is equal to your specified check box, then clicks it and comes out of the loop. Hope this should work.
IList<IWebElement> myCheckBoxs = driver.FindElements(By.name("selectedNavigationCategoryPath"));
Foreach(IWebElement chkBx in myCheckBoxs)
{
if(chkBx.GetAttribute("Value")=="Your Desired value")
{
chkBx.Click();
break;
}
}

Answer 6

Use this CSS locator.
[name='selectedNavigationCategoryPath'][value='firstValue']
