How to get the selected option in the Select Menu Interaction Event of JDA?

Question

My question is how can I get the selected option, if in the SelectionMenuEvent event it doesn't have the method to get the option that the user selected from the menu.

My code:

@Override
public void execute(Member member, Message message) {
    val menu = SelectionMenu.create("help.menu");
    val command = this.loadAllCommand(message);
    command.forEach(c -> menu.addOption(c.getName(), c.getPermission(), c.getDescription(), c.getEmoji()));
    message.reply("```Diff\n" +
            "+ List of my current commands" +
            "\n```").setActionRow(menu.build()).queue();
}

// Event

@Override
    public void onSelectionMenu(SelectionMenuEvent event) {
        // get selected option of the menu
    }

I looked at the SelectionMenuEvent class documentation, let me know if I missed something.

I am using JDA version 4.4.0_350.

You can use SelectMenuInteraction#getValues or SelectMenuInteraction#getSelectedOptions. The event implements this interface.
