Adding a point to this- I came across a problem that OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI namespace was not available after installing Selenium.NET binding into the C# project. Later found out that we can easily install latest version of Selenium WebDriver Support Classes by running the command:

Install-Package Selenium.Support

in NuGet Package Manager Console, or install Selenium.Support from NuGet Manager.

Other way could be this one   driver FindElement By XPath        id  examp   form select 1  option 3     Click      and you can change the index in option x  changing x by the number of element that you want to select   I don t know if it is the best way but I hope that help you
