Dropdown questions
Dropdown works similar to Multiple Choice options, which basically selects any ONE option in the list. Depending on the context of question you can select either Dropdown or Multiple choice options.
When you have to give very broader or lengthier options in such case it is better to use dropdown which saves the space as well as makes it clean presentation.
For example, Select your State
For this question, the options can be given in dropdown menu rather than multiple choice since it takes much space to display all the 28 states of India.
