why are we giving value up here option value="apple">Apple</option

what happen if we lave it as option value="">Apple</option .?

the value attribute is for the developer. think of it like this, we are displaying the name apple there and as we assign a value to it, we are saying to the parser that, if they select apple, the value should be "apple" and this value will be later used for further processing. And if we do as you asked and leave the value null or "" even if we select apple in the checkbox, there will be no further action that can be taken with your option.
