What I found is:
<a href="https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/rendering.html#the-select-element-2">https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/rendering.html#the-select-element-2</a>
which says:
"An option element is expected to be rendered by displaying the element's label, indented under its optgroup element if it has one."
label points to:
<a href="https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/forms.html#concept-option-label">https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/forms.html#concept-option-label</a>
which says:
"The label attribute provides a label for element. The label of an option element is the value of the label content attribute, if there is one and its value is not the empty string, or, otherwise, the value of the element's text IDL attribute."</pre>
