Answer 1

Use following css :

    .mat-select-panel mat-option.mat-option {
      height: unset;
    }

   .mat-option-text.mat-option-text {
      white-space: normal;
    }

OR

/deep/ .mat-select-panel mat-option.mat-option {
  height: unset;
}

/deep/ .mat-option-text.mat-option-text {
  white-space: normal;
}

  word-wrap: break-word;
