Multiple Choice Multiple Response Question Type

Use the Multiple Choice Multiple Response question type to provide a question with answer selections presented in a list of checkboxes.

You can specify a minimum and a maximum number of selections that the people must make from the choices you provide and this information is displayed immediately below the question text. If the question is required, the person must select the number of checkboxes within the specified range. If the question is not required, the person can skip the question or select an appropriate number of checkboxes.

A Multiple Choice Combo Box may appear similar to the following.
