Select option in configuration not store in database

Question

I am following the answer to creating a table with dropdown in Store>Configuration.

Its looks good but not storing my selected dropdown value in core_config_data table.

currently its storing null array, if I remove dropdown and add text field than its working completely fine and also store data in database, so I think I made some mistake for creating dropdown.

Here is my code:

File: system.xml

    <field id="template" translate="label" sortOrder="5" showInDefault="1" showInWebsite="1" showInStore="1">
           <label>Select Template</label>
           <frontend_model>Vendor\Module\Block\Adminhtml\Form\Field\Template</frontend_model>
           <backend_model>Magento\Config\Model\Config\Backend\Serialized\ArraySerialized</backend_model>
    </field>

File: Template.php

class Template extends AbstractFieldArray
{
  protected $_itemRenderer;

  protected function _prepareToRender()
  {
    $this->addColumn(
        'deliverydays',
        [
            'label' => __('Delivery Days'),
            'readonly'=>'readonly',
            'renderer' => $this->_getRenderer()
        ]
    );
    $this->_addAfter = false;
    $this->_addButtonLabel = __('Add More');
  }

  protected function _getRenderer()
  {
    $this->_itemRenderer = $this->getLayout()->createBlock(
        \Vendor\Module\Block\Adminhtml\Form\Field\Options::class, '',
        array('is_render_to_js_template' => true)
    );
    return $this->_itemRenderer;
  }

File: Options.php

class Options extends Select
{
/**
 * @var \Magento\Eav\Model\Config
 */
protected $_eavConfig;

public function __construct(Context $context,
                            \Magento\Eav\Model\Config $eavConfig,
                            array $data = [])
{
    parent::__construct($context, $data);
    $this->_eavConfig = $eavConfig;
}

public function _toHtml()
{
    $html = '<select>';
            foreach ($this->attributeOptions() as $column):
    $html .= '<option value="'.$column.'">'.$column.'</option>';
            endforeach;
    $html .= '</select>';
    return $html;
}

public function setInputName($value)
{
    return $this->setName($value);
}

  public function attributeOptions(){
    $attributeCode = "delivery_days";
    $attribute = $this->_eavConfig->getAttribute('catalog_product', $attributeCode);
    $options = $attribute->getSource()->getAllOptions();
    $attrValues = [];
    foreach ($options as $option) {
        if ($option['value'] > 0) {
            $attrValues[] = $option['label']; //->getText(); //use '->getText' if attribute is system generated
        }
    }
    return $attrValues;
  }
}
