The <span> tag is an inline container used to mark up a part of a text, or a part of a document.
So depending on context there are two things that you can put inside an <option> — text or nothing at all — you may not put a <span> or any other element there. An option element cannot have any child elements.
SPAN is a GENERIC inline container. It does not matter whether an a is inside span or span is inside a as both are inline elements.
You can't use other html tags or css styling on select options. But you can use 3rd libraries to render dropdowns and use it like a select. For example Bootstrap
$(function() {
$('#my-select').find('li').click(function() {
$('#selected').html($(this).html());
});
