Madalyn Mcmahon · Answer 1

I believe the answer is C. open-ended

open-ended refers to the type of question that being done in order to ecnourage/ignite answers with deep meaning (emotional response)

While other type of questions could be done in a yes or no format, open-ended questions could only be done in essay format.

Allyson Hutchinson · Answer 2

The answer is C. The question is considered open-ended because there’s a free-form mode of responding made available by the addition of an "other" option where respondents can write down their answer without being restricted to the choices you have given.
