For the above site, I am writing a Selenium code to select a country from the drop-down and want to display selected country on the console in eclipse. What method should I use to display selected country INDIA on console?

Below is my code:

package ayushi;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select;

public class Dropdown {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
       System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\Selenium Setup\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");
       WebDriver x=new ChromeDriver();
       x.get("http://demo.guru99.com/test/newtours/register.php");
       x.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
       Thread.sleep(3000);

       System.out.println("CONTACT INFORMATION");
       WebElement element1=x.findElement(By.name("firstName"));
       element1.sendKeys("Ayushi");
       String a=element1.getAttribute("value");
       System.out.println("First Name: "+a);
       Thread.sleep(1000);

       WebElement element2=x.findElement(By.name("lastName"));
       element2.sendKeys("Sharma");

       System.out.println("Email: "+d);

       System.out.println("----------------------------------");

       System.out.println("MAILING INFORMATION");
       WebElement element5=x.findElement(By.name("address1"));
       element5.sendKeys("Pratap Nagar Near Police Lines Ghaziabad");
       String e=element5.getAttribute("value");

       WebElement element6=x.findElement(By.name("city"));
       element6.sendKeys("Ghaziabad");
       String f=element6.getAttribute("value");
       System.out.println("City: "+f);
       Thread.sleep(1000);

       WebElement element7=x.findElement(By.name("state"));
       element7.sendKeys("Uttar Pradesh");
       String g=element7.getAttribute("value");
       System.out.println("State/Province: "+g);
       Thread.sleep(1000);

       WebElement element8=x.findElement(By.name("postalCode"));
       element8.sendKeys("201002");
       String h=element8.getAttribute("value");
       System.out.println("Postal Code: "+h);
       Thread.sleep(1000);

       Select drpcountry=new Select(x.findElement(By.name("country")));
       List<WebElement> el=drpcountry.getOptions();
       int iListsize=el.size();
       System.out.println("Total no. of Countries: "+iListsize);
       for(int i=0;i<iListsize;i++)
       {
           String cntry=drpcountry.getOptions().get(i).getText();
       System.out.println("Country "+(i+1)+" :"+cntry);
       }
       drpcountry.selectByVisibleText("INDIA");
       Thread.sleep(1000);

       System.out.println("----------------------------------");

       x.findElement(By.name("submit")).click();
       System.out.println("Registration form is submitted successfully");
    }

You can get the selected value from dropdown using getFirstSelectedOption() and getText() methods.

System.out.println("Selected country: " + drpcountry.getFirstSelectedOption().getText());
