Question

Does the select element have the required attribute?

Answer 1

Yes you can use required attribute in HTML5. But remember, first value should be empty.
<select required>
<option value="">Please select</option>
<option value="first">First</option>
</select>

Answer 2

Yes it has a required attribute, you can use it as follows
<select required>
<option value="" disabled selected>Choose</option>
<option value="first Option">First Option</option>
<option value="Second Option">Second Option</option>
</select>

Answer 3

You can do this way to make it look better
<select required>
<option hidden="" disabled="disabled" selected="selected" value="">Select subject</option>
<option value="first Option">First Option</option>
<option value="Second Option">Second Option</option>
</select>

Answer 4

Yes it does, but currently it is not supported by any version of all major browsers. This includes Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and IE.

Answer 5

It is possible but (just Arif said above) it is important (obviously) that you use the first option without value like:
<form action="#" method="post">
<div>
<label for="State">State</label>
<select required id="State" name="State">
<option value="">Choose</option>
<option value="new">New</option>
<option value="old">Old</option>
</select>
</div>
</form>
