I just looked up "list" and I got "a number of connected items".
Is there a more specific term to use when those items are options or choices?

Best Answer
In computing a list is typically referred to as a collection. Specifically a collection of items. Items can be of many different forms such as a whole row of information, or a more complex object.
Depending upon context however queue is a nice word representing a first in first out type of scenario. There's also the word column which is typically a list of autonomous singular data elements, such as name, state, or zip code.
Cavalcade is also rather lovely but I doubt that's what you're after. List is also a very valid word in the english language and there is a List class in the Java programming language. The plural form of the word option is also good. The HTML element is referred to as a select list. An array is the basic practical form.
