Then select another option (pun intended), i.e. use a different approach.
Instead of a select element, use a set of radio buttons, as described at
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/choices.html#select-inflex

Looks like tabular material, so make it a table, with a radio button in
the 
first column.

(This would also let you e.g. make "CS", "ENEX", etc., links to 
explanations, for those you might not guess what they mean.)
