On Hardisk Option set Create a virtual hard disk now and then click Create
The Create Virtual Machine setting should be like this


After you click Create, the program will ask you how much Virtual Hard Disk you want to use. Just set in as you like but not lower than 15 GB of disk space, after that click Create.

Installing Elementary OS to your VirtualBox

Now click Start to start your Virtual Machine, and then the software will ask your the startup disk of the Operating System, Click the folder icon and then locate it your Elementary OS .iso files
Locate your elementaryos iso file
When you finish locating the iso files then click Open, after that just click Start... And then the program will boot the Elementary OS installation setup on your VirtualBox. Just wait a few minutes and this installation setup will appear

And that's it follow the installation step by setting your language and then click Install elementary
