What control type is typically used for selecting multiple options?

The control type that is typically used for selecting multiple options is CheckBoxes. This control allows users to make multiple selections from a list of available choices, providing a straightforward way for users to indicate several preferences or options simultaneously. Each checkbox operates independently, allowing the user to select or deselect any combination of items without affecting others.

In contrast, a TextBox is designed for inputting free text rather than selecting from predetermined options, which limits its applicability for choosing multiple items. RadioButtons are suitable for situations where only one option can be selected from a predefined list; they work by allowing only a single selection, making them inappropriate for tasks requiring multiple selections. A Dropdown typically supports only one selection at a time, although some variations may allow multi-select functionality, but this is less common. Therefore, CheckBoxes are the standard choice for scenarios that require the selection of multiple options.
