Using below demo we can get multiselect option using system.xml.
For Example, We will get all Customer group of a system and display all the customer group by system.xml in System -> Configuration Section of admin.
Create system.xml file,
Path,   app/code/<Vendorname>/<Modulename>/etc/adminhtml/system.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Config:etc/system_file.xsd">
    <system>
        <section id="catalog">
            <group id="customer_group" translate="label" type="text" sortOrder="10" showInDefault="1" showInWebsite="1" showInStore="1">
                <field id="list" translate="label" type="multiselect" sortOrder="3" showInDefault="1" showInWebsite="1" showInStore="0">
                    <label>Customer Groups</label>
                    <source_model>Vendorname\Modulename\Model\Adminhtml\System\Config\Source\Customer\Group</source_model>
                    <can_be_empty>1</can_be_empty>
                </field>
            </group>
        </section>
    </system>
</config>

You need to get the collection of all customer group using a Model file. Create Model file in your module. You can define your model php file using source_model tag in system.xml file.

Create Group.php file,
Path, app/code/<Vendorname>/<Modulename>/Model/Adminhtml/System/Config/Source/Customer/Group.php

<?php
namespace Vendorname\Modulename\Model\Adminhtml\System\Config\Source\Customer;

class Group implements \Magento\Framework\Option\ArrayInterface
{
    public function __construct(\Magento\Customer\Model\ResourceModel\Group\CollectionFactory $groupCollectionFactory)
    {
        $this->_groupCollectionFactory = $groupCollectionFactory;
    }

    /**
     * @return array
     */
    public function toOptionArray()
    {
        if (!$this->_options) {
            $this->_options = $this->_groupCollectionFactory->create()->loadData()->toOptionArray();
        }
        return $this->_options;
    }
}

Clear Cache using php bin/magento cache:flush

Now You can get the list of customer group in your section with multi-select option.
If you want to get the list of all selected option in PHP file,

<?php
namespace Vendorname\Modulename\Helper;

class Data extends \Magento\Framework\App\Helper\AbstractHelper
{
    public function __construct(
        \Magento\Framework\App\Helper\Context $context
    ) {
        $this->scopeConfig = $context->getScopeConfig();
        parent::__construct($context);
    }
    /**
     * Get Customer group selected list
     */
    public function getCustomerGroupList() {
        $list = $this->scopeConfig->getValue("catalog/customer_group/list",
                \Magento\Store\Model\ScopeInterface::SCOPE_STORE);
        return $list !== null ? explode(',', $list) : [];
    }

Using the above way you can list of all customer group selected in a Configuration section. The result will be a value of all selected customer group with comma separated.
