Answer 1

If it is not working try this:-

$department = Department::select('id','name')->get();
return view('complaint.create')->with(compact('department'));

Now your view like this:-

<strong>Department : </strong>
<select class="form-control" name="any-name">
@foreach($department as $dept)
 <option value="{{$dept->id}}">{{$dept->name}}</option>
@endforeach

Hope it helps!
