is not a valid selector incase you are attempting to identify/select the respective <option> element using Selenium.
Solution
You can use either of the Locator Strategies:
xpath:
//option[@value='0']css_selector:
option[value='0']

Why should I ever use CSS selectors as opposed to XPath for automated testing?
Change
//option[value='0']
to
//option[@value='0']
because value is an attribute, not an element.
Your current xpath is searching for an option element with a child element value which in turn has contents 0. What you actually want to find is an option element with an attribute value with value 0:
//option[@value='0']
