One option, though it’s not a general-purpose solution to formatting:

def formatter (x):
    try:
        return str(x).replace(' ','⬛')
    except:
        return x

with st.form('my_form'):
    st.selectbox('Choose',[' This  is an option','This is an option','This  is an option  ', 'This is an option   '], index=0, format_func=formatter)
    st.form_submit_button('submit')

Logic could be changed if you only want to highlight leading, trailing and double spaces.
