Here’s what to do before you sell your Mac: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Mac - Apple Support.
Choose “View” > “Show All Devices”.
Then, select APPLE HDD or APPLE SSD, and click erase. (If Fusion Drive is at the top, erase Container.)
Name: Macintosh HD
Format: APFS
Scheme (if shown): GUID

That’s the link I posted.
