Let S and T be compact Hausdorff spaces and G and H finite-dimensional subspaces of C(S) and C(T) respectively. Suppose μ and ν are regular Borel measures on S and T respectively such that μ(S)= ν(T)= 1. The product measure μ × ν will be denoted by σ. Set U = GC(T), V =C(S)H and W = U + V. If G and H possess continuous proximity maps, then U and V are proximinal subspaces of C(S × T) when this linear space is equipped with the L1-norm, [4, Lemma 2]. That is, every zC(S × T) possesses at least one best approximation from U and from V. A metric selection Au:C(S × TU is a mapping which associates each zC(S × T) with one of its best approximations in U.
