How to HTML select in jQuery

I want to select several options with the help of jquery. and take the value of the selected options and write it in the paragraph. My problem is that it only takes the first option and does not take the next selected option and only returns the value obtained first. I have to write it in

until there are no other options. and I need to delete the selected options

$(document).ready(function() {
  var max_fields = 26;
  var wrapper = $(".container1");
  var add_button = $(".add_form_field");
  var selectopion = $("#id_100 option:selected").val();
  var x = 1;
  $(add_button).click(function(e) {
    $("#id_100 option:selected").remove();
    e.preventDefault();
    if (x < max_fields) {
      var numbers = x++;
      //add input box
      $(wrapper).append('<div><p>ID: ' + selectopion + ' student</p></div>');
    } else {
      alert('The maximum number of students has been added');
    }
  });
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js">
</script>

<label for="day">Students</label>
<select name="students_info" class="form-control" id="id_100">
  <option value="6">6 || student</option>
  <option value="5">5 || student</option>
  <option value="4">4 || student</option>
  <option value="3">3 || student</option>
  <option value="2">2 || student</option>
  <option value="1">1 || student</option>
</select>

<input type="submit" name="button" id="submit_button" 
  class="btn btn-success add_form_field" value="Add">
<div class="container1 form-group"></div>

The issue is because you only retrieve the val() of the select when the page loads. You need to get that value when the event occurs, so that it matches what has been selected in the DOM when the user clicks the button.

In addition you need to move the remove() call to after you append the div, otherwise the selected option is removed before it's been read.

Also note that in several instances you're wrapping jQuery objects in another jQuery object. Select your elements once and refer to them as necessary within the event handlers.

Finally, you can look use the length property to determine how many elements you've appended to the DOM instead of the global x variable.

This is great, but it will continue to write null when the options run out

This is easily fixed by ensuring that the select had a value.

Try this working example:

$(document).ready(function() {
  var max_fields = 26;
  var $wrapper = $(".container1");
  var $add_button = $(".add_form_field");
  var $select = $("#id_100");
  
  $add_button.click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();    
    
    let selectValue = $select.val();    
    if (!selectValue)
      return;
    
    if ($wrapper.children('div').length < max_fields) {
      $wrapper.append(`<div><p>ID: ${selectValue} student</p></div>`);
      $select.find('option:selected').remove();
    } else {
      alert('The maximum number of students has been added');
    }
  });
});

<label for="day">Students</label>
<select name="students_info" class="form-control" id="id_100">

  <option value="5">5 || student</option>
  <option value="4">4 || student</option>
  <option value="3">3 || student</option>
  <option value="2">2 || student</option>
  <option value="1">1 || student</option>
</select>

<input type="submit" name="button" id="submit_button" class="btn btn-success add_form_field" value="Add">
<div class="container1 form-group"></div>
