Select and mask not showing

Photoshop CC 2017, Windows 10 64 bit

The select and mask option at the top of the screen is not displaying at the top of my screen. I can ad a layer mask, right click and invoke select and mask that way, but the selection tool will not display unless I hold the alt-key down. What can I do to get the select and mask option to show at the top of the screen?

Thanks,

Joe

To have it show in the options bar, you'll need to have a tool selected that can make a selection like the Rectangular Marquee, Elliptical Marquee, Quick Selection, Magic Wand, Lasso, or Polygonal Lasso.
