The dropdown question provides a list of options for the respondent to choose one option from, presented in a drop-down menu. It’s often used to provide a structured response format and make it easier for respondents to find an answer from a longer list of options. Examples of commonly used dropdown questions include questions about age range, occupation, and country of residence.
