Answer 1

Hey,

If you want a user to make a selection from list of items then you may use a  radio button or drop down menu i.e option 2. Because, in drop down menu, we provide a list which is a list made by us and the user can only select 1 item from that list. Also, in radio buttons. we can select only one radio button at a time.

Talking about other options-

CheckBox- It is used when we want the user to be able to select more than one option, then we use checkbox.

Scrollable menu with multiple selections allowed cannot be used in this use-case because it will allow the user to have multiple selections, but we allow only one selection by user.

So, the correct option is- radio button and drop down menu.

2)

<textarea name="contest_entry" rows="5" cols="50"></textarea>

This will create a multi-line text entry field.

If you want to make a date picker, then you can use-

<input type="date" id="birthday" name="birthday">

If you want to create single-line text entry field-

<input type="text" name="txtSearch" size="20" maxlength="64" />

If you want to create drop down menu-

<label for="fruits">Choose a fruit:</label>
<select name="fruits" id="fruits">
<option value="Apple">Apple</option>
<option value="Mango">Mango</option>
<option value="Banana">Banana</option>
<option value="Pineapple">Pineapple</option>
</select>
