$options = "<option value="data0">data 0<option>
<option value="data1">data 1<option>

<option value="data3">data 3<option>
<option value="data4">data 4<option>";

Maybe something like this?

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    $.getJSON("/resource/",
        function(data){
          $.each(data.options, function(i,item){
          $('#select').append( $(item) );
          });
        });
  });

</script>

Though I really can't tell without looking at the exact JSON output.
