```

## Return Value

A serializable property list that you can use to obtain an instance of [`AVMediaSelectionOption`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVMediaSelectionOption) representing the same option as the receiver using [`mediaSelectionOption(withPropertyList:)`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVMediaSelectionGroup/mediaSelectionOption(withPropertyList:)).

## Discussion
