What is a dropdown question and how can it be used in a survey/questionnaire?

Dropdown survey questions allow questionnaire respondents to choose their answer from a pre established list of options by clicking on a drop down menu.

Modern online survey tools allow respondents to select multiple options from dropdown menus as well. These survey questions come in handy primarily when you want to ensure that your respondents stick to a certain “path” while going through your survey.
