Multiple-choice drop-down menu

The multiple-choice drop-down menu is a type of question where respondents can select only one answer from a list that appears when they click on the menu. This format is especially helpful when you have a long list of options, such as a list of cities in a county or state. By using a drop-down menu, the options are neatly organized and easy to scroll through, making it simpler for respondents to find and choose the right answer. This question type is commonly used in surveys to make it easier for people to select one option from many possibilities.
