Try,

$("#drop_company").append('<option value="1">Apple</option>');

  1. You were missing $ in ("#drop_company")
  2. You can append it a simple string
  3. You cannot use double quotes inside double quotes without escaping it, else you can use a single quote and inside which you can use double quotes like above.
