What type of question allows respondents to choose multiple answers?

Checkbox questions enable respondents to select multiple answers because they present a list of options where each option can be checked or unchecked independently. This format is particularly useful when you want to gather diverse responses or when the question can have several applicable answers, such as preferences or characteristics. Each checkbox represents a distinct answer that respondents can choose from, allowing them the flexibility to express multiple selections rather than being restricted to a single choice, which is the case with multiple-choice questions.

Other types of questions, like matrix questions, typically allow for selecting one answer per item in a grid format, while text entry questions focus on open-ended responses where participants input their answers instead of selecting from provided options.
