How to remove the <option> from selector <select> using JQuery

Hi,
In my JSP page I have a drop down values associated with different id's, now I needed to remove some of the values from that drop down based on their id's which I would get it from a database. Can anyone please help me with the query statement that would be created run time to remove an option.

Thanks!
