The following is a sentence from a reading comprehension exercise. The context
is a 返品カード. I wonder what role で plays below:

> 返品理由 **で** 当てはまるものを選び、アルファベットに◯をつけてください。
>
> a．サイズが合わなかった。
>
> b. ...

I have two guesses.

  1. で here is the te-form of だ. 返品理由 and 当てはまる both modify もの.
  2. で is a particle and means “as”.

Which (if any) of the above would be correct?

question
particle-で
What is the role of で in the following sentence?
I think you can read the sentence as 返品理由 **の中で** 当てはまる… so で plays "location"
role ( **inside the** list, choose corresponding...).
