how to get selected options from multiple dropdowns using getAllSelectedOptions

Select dropdown1 = new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath("//html/body/div/div[2]/div/div/div//div//select")));
List<WebElement> drop1 = dropdown1.getAllSelectedOptions();
for(WebElement temp : drop1) {
      String drop_text = temp.getText();
      System.out.println(drop_text);
}

The above xpath represents 3 dropdown fields.When i execute this code i am getting the selected text in first dropdown only.What changes i need to do in this to get the selected options from all three dropdown fields.

 **html code**

<div class="form-group">
        <label class="control-label col-md-4 col-sm-4" for="type-select">Category<span style="color:red">*</span></label>
        <div class="col-md-8 col-sm-8">
            <select defaultattr="4" class="form-control input-style mandatory" data-val="true" data-val-number="The field CategoryID must be a number." id="CategoryID" name="CategoryID"><option value="">--Select--</option>
<option value="1">Architectural Firm</option>
<option value="2">Interior Design Firm</option>
<option value="3">General Contractor</option>
<option selected="selected" value="4">2tec2 Sales Network</option>
<option value="5">Cleaning Company</option>
<option value="6">Commercial end user</option>
</select>

<div class="form-group">
        <label class="control-label col-md-4 col-sm-4" for="type-select">Company Status</label>
        <div class="col-md-8 col-sm-8">
            <select class="form-control input-style" id="ddlCompanyStatus">
                    <option selected="selected" value="1">Active</option>
                    <option value="0">Non Active</option>
            </select>

        </div>
    </div>
<div class="form-group">

You can use css selector option:checked to get selected options

List<WebElement> selectedOpts = driver.findElements(
         By.cssSelector("select.form-control > option:checked"));

for(WebElement temp : selectedOpts ) {
      System.out.println(temp.getText());
}

First of all, calling findElement() only returns a single element from the HTML page. In order to get all elements that match a given selector, you need to call findElements() instead.

Secondly, you seem to be under the impression that getAllSelectedOptions() will return all of the options selected for all <select> fields. This is not the case. Instead, it only returns all of the selected options for a single <select> field. This only makes sense if you use the multiple attribute.

To get the selected option in each <select>, you first need to use findElements() instead of findElement(). Then you need to iterate over the selected elements and call getSelectedOption() on each one.
