Answer 1

The drop-down list is a select node with this id: operator_type

new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("operator_type"))).selectByVisibleText("your desired type");

you should import: import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select;

Answer 2

You can use this code this POM design pattern..

@FindBy(id="status")
WebElement status_dropdown;
public void select_List(String status)
 {
 Select statusdropdown=new Select(status_dropdown);
 statusdropdown.selectByVisibleText(status);
 }
 client.select_List("active");
