How do I make the Select option default?
The default value of the select element can be set by using the 'selected' attribute on the required option. This is a boolean attribute. The option that is having the 'selected' attribute will be displayed by default on the dropdown list.
How to set default value in select option angular?

How to set the default value of a select option when mapping over array?
So, you can set a default value by passing the value of the option in the value prop of the select input element. This is very convenient in a controlled component as you only have to update the value in one place.
How do you make the select element not to choose the first option as selected by default?
The only way to do that is to add an empty option. A <select> always has something selected; if the user hasn't interacted with the control, and none of the <option> elements have the "selected" attribute, then the first one is selected.
