The next four white lines are boot menu items, you can press “Up” and “Down” key of keyboard to move between items. The fifth red line tell us can enter edit options with “Tab” key of keyboard.

Although there are four menu items, but only the first two are available items. Move on item and press “Enter” to boot.
