Selections and countably-approachable points

The present paper improves a result of Gutev [V. Gutev, Approaching points by continuous selections, J. Math. Soc. Japan (4) (2006) 1203–1210] by characterizing the countably-approachable points in sense of [V. Gutev, Approaching points by continuous selections, J. Math. Soc. Japan (4) (2006) 1203–1210] by a natural extreme-like condition in the spirit of [V. Gutev, T. Nogura, Vietoris continuous selections and disconnectedness-like properties, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 129 (2001) 2809–2815; V. Gutev, T. Nogura, Selection pointwise-maximal spaces, Topology Appl. 146–147 (2005) 397–408]. This demonstrates the natural relationship between different extreme-like points with respect to continuous selections for the Vietoris hyperspace of nonempty closed subsets.
