How to set a selected option of a dropdown list control using angular JS

I am using Angular JS and I need to set a selected option of a dropdown list control using angular JS. Forgive me if this is ridiculous but I am new with Angular JS

Here is the dropdown list control of my HTML:

 <select ng-required="item.id==8 && item.quantity > 0" name="posterVariants"
   ng-show="item.id==8" ng-model="item.selectedVariant" 
   ng-change="calculateServicesSubTotal(item)"
   ng-options="v.name for v in variants | filter:{type:2}">
  </select>

After it gets populated I get

 <select ng-options="v.name for v in variants | filter:{type:2}" ng-change="calculateServicesSubTotal(item)"
ng-model="item.selectedVariant" ng-show="item.id==8" name="posterVariants"
ng-required="item.id==8 &amp;&amp; item.quantity &gt; 0" class="ng-pristine ng-valid ng-valid-required">
    <option value="?" selected="selected"></option>
    <option value="0">set of 6 traits</option>
    <option value="1">5 complete sets</option>
</select>

How can I set the control for value="0" to be selected?
