if you use this, it should return an array of all the option elements:

element_array = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//select[@id='00N20000002gQI3']/option"))

So you can just extract the text of each element from this array. There's no need to click on the elements.

element_array[1].text
element_array[2].text

and etc.

Here is a method I have used before to select an option by value:

public static void selectInDropdownByValue(WebElement we, String val) {
    Select dropDown = new Select(we);           
    List<WebElement> theseOptions = dropDown.getOptions();
    for(WebElement option:theseOptions){
        if(option.getAttribute("value").equals(val)){
            option.click();  
        }
    }   
}

Sometimes, with some menus, this won't be enough. In that case you need to use a WebDriver "Action" to physically move the mouse and click the mouse button.

You can use getOptions function of Select class. Loop through the list of webelements received and call getText to get the visible options..something like

Select sel = new Select(driver.findElement("yourlocator");
List of WebElements lst = sel.getOptions();
//iterate list with getText
