Change content using select menu in a Bootstrap page with the help of jQuery

I recently delivered the solution to a stackoverflow question. The question was around using a select menu to display different content contained in divs using jQuery.
Below is the solution, but the only difference is that I've contained it in a Bootstrap page. The important bit are highlighted in red.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/css/bootstrap.min.css">
    <style>
    body
    {
      padding-top:2em;
    }
