'How to use multi-column option box within select element

we all know Drop-down list can have mutli menus in drop down like this

I was trying to do the same using select element

#otp2{
  margin-top:-100px;
}

<select>
  
  <optgroup id="otp1" label="Category 1">
    <option>1</option>
    <option>2</option>
  </optgroup>

  <optgroup id="otp2"   label="Category 2">
    <option>4</option>
    <option>5</option>
  </optgroup>

</select>

I tried to adjust it with the margins but none works. how to do it?

Is it possible in select option list?
