xpath in selenium for clicking the element - selenium

Question

This is the HTML code, for the box, please advice me on how to find the correct xpath for any element in this box.
The box contains list of elements and the element is transferred from left to right box or vice versa when clicked.
<div id="companyIndustry" class="form-group" style="margin:0">
<select id="my-select-industry" name="segmentdiv:companyIndustries" multiple="multiple" size="8">
<option value="1">Agriculture and Mining - Farming and Ranching</option>
<option value="2">Agriculture and Mining - Fishing, Hunting and Trapping</option>
</select>
</div>

Answer 1

Xpath can be:-
//select[#id='my-select-industry']/option[#value='2']
In this case you can use
Select dropdown = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("my-select-industry")));
To select its option say 'Agriculture and Mining - Fishing, Hunting and Trapping' you can do
dropdown.selectByVisibleText("Agriculture and Mining - Fishing, Hunting and Trapping ");
or
dropdown.selectByIndex(2);
or
dropdown.selectByValue("2");
Hope it will help you :)

Answer 2

List<WebElement> options = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//option"));
You could also search for 'option' tags with relative xpath (searching downward from a 'known' [previously found] element), but that would require you to add a '.' dot instead of double slash before 'option'.
e.g.
WebElement selectElement = driver.findElement(By.id("my-select-industry"));
List<WebElement> options = selectElement.findElements(By.xpath("./option"));
