if u want that option1 have to be 1 or 2 or 3 you have to do this:

if (option1 == 1 || option1 == 2 || option1 == 3)

Yes, you can do it one of two ways. You can check each case separately with the boolean or || operator:

if (option1 == "a" || option1 == "b" || etc...)

or you can create a collection of choices and see if it contains the variable you're testing:

if (new string[] { "a", "b", "c" }.Contains(option1))

I often wish for the same thing, this is what I do sometimes:

string[] optionOneVals = new string[3] {"a", "b", "c"};

if (optionOneVals.Contains(option1)) {
  ...
}
