Choose Based On:
- Vertical: Long option labels, detailed choices, traditional forms
- Horizontal: 2-5 short options (Yes/No, Male/Female, etc.)

Responsive Behavior:
All layouts automatically adapt to mobile screens, stacking vertically when needed for better touch interaction.

Selecting “Other” reveals a text field where users type a custom answer. Both the selection and text are submitted.
Q: What does randomize order do?
Every time the form loads, the option order changes to reduce bias in responses.
