There will be two types of Options for each type of option in Magento.

selected_options: Selected Options will be used when you can select already existing options from the product or custom options. Its predefined options are available with the product.

  {
    uid: "Sww3ZmlndXJhYmxlLzE4Ni8xNzY=",
    value: "User input Value"
  }
]

Different types of Items syntax to create base64 encoded value,

1. Configurable Item syntax,

base64_encode('configurable/<ATTRIBUTE_ID>/<OPTION_VALUE_ID>')

Color Attribute Id 93 and Option Value Red Id 67

base64_encode('configurable/93/67'); //Y29uZmlndXJhYmxlLzE4Ni8xNzY=

2. Bundle Item syntax,

base64_encode("<OPTION_TYPE>/<OPTION_ID>/<OPTION_VALUE_ID>/<OPTION_QUANTITY>")

Here,
<OPTION_TYPE> will be a bundle
<OPTION_ID> will be option id
<OPTION_VALUE_ID> will be option value id
<OPTION_QUANTITY> will be option qty

selected options for bundle item with child selection,

base64_encode("bundle/1/2/1") => "YnVuZGxlLzEvMi8x" 
base64_encode("bundle/2/4/2") => "YnVuZGxlLzIvNC8y" 
base64_encode("bundle/3/5/5") => "YnVuZGxlLzMvNS81" 
base64_encode("bundle/4/8/5") => "YnVuZGxlLzQvOC81"

Example,

{
    sku: "24-WG080"
    quantity: 1
    selected_options: [
      "YnVuZGxlLzEvMi8x"
      "YnVuZGxlLzIvNC8y"
      "YnVuZGxlLzMvNS81"
      "YnVuZGxlLzQvOC81"
    ]
}

3. Downloadable Item syntax

base64_encode('<OPTION_TYPE>/<OPTION_LINK_ID>')

<OPTION_TYPE> will be downloadable
<OPTION_LINK_Id> will be Item Link id.

For example,
Downloadable product SKU 240-LV09 from the Magento sample data,
Downloadable Episode 1 option id will be 6.
base64_encode("downloadable/6") // ZG93bmxvYWRhYmxlLzY=

{
sku: "240-LV09"
quantity: 1
selected_options: ["ZG93bmxvYWRhYmxlLzY="]
}

4. Custom Options Item Syntax,

base64_encode("<OPTION_TYPE>/<OPTION_ID>/<OPTION_VALUE_ID>")

Example, for Custom drop-down option for the Custom option Product,
“Gender(id = 1), with values Male(id = 1), Female(id = 2)”

Here,
OPTION_TYPE equals custom-option
OPTION_ID equals Gender(id = 1)
OPTION_VALUE_ID equals female(id = 2)

uid for Gender with Female will looks like,

base64_encode("custom-option/1/2") => "Y3VzdG9tLW9wdGlvbi8xLzI="

You can aware about all the details information for the selected and entered options.
