List
Explanation:
I generally use 'menu' for food e.g. in a restaurant. I could conceivably use it by analogy when a choice is to be made from a list of options. That doesn't appear to be the case here.

NB I write UK English. This may be different in US usage.

Of course the term \'menu\' is also used in computing: Start menu, Favourites menu, etc. But I\'d still use \'list\' in your context.
