Setting the field as required is the best option. Having a default value works too but will imply having garbage (incorrect) data

Selected Answer: A

Setting the field as required in the field definition should satisfy the requirement. Indeed by configuring the field that way, you'll get an error when trying to create/update a record, thus forcing you to select a pick list value.
