As name indicates selectoptions is plural, which means it will have a list of values and select option is just single value which is string. 
For exmpl:
<apex:selectList >
     <apex:selectOption value={!value1}/>  <!--if you are putting it as a separate values -->    
     <apex:selectOption value={!value2}/>
     <apex:selectOption value={!value3}/>
</apex:selectList>


<apex:selectOptions value={!ListofValues}/>  <!--if you are putting it in a list<selectOption> -->
