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
