|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Configure a single-answer question in the Exam section of the WPS Forms editor, then edit settings, preview, and confirm. | Excel form controls include option buttons, list boxes, and combo boxes. For one-choice scenarios, users can use option buttons or a list box with Single selection. | Google Forms supports Multiple choice and Dropdown question types, and respondents can choose only one option. | Notion database Select properties let users choose one option from a list of tags, which is useful for categorization rather than formal exam forms. | Acrobat PDF forms support radio buttons, drop-down lists, and list boxes for one-choice form fields. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The entry point is grouped inside the Exam section, which fits a direct create-preview-confirm workflow for form authors. Advantage: The current feature can be used without membership. | Compared with WPS: Excel is more focused on worksheet controls and spreadsheet interaction than a dedicated exam form workflow. | Compared with WPS: Google Forms is well suited for online surveys and quizzes, but its workflow is centered on web forms rather than the WPS desktop office entry point. | Compared with WPS: Notion is more focused on database tagging and organization, so its one-option selection is not centered on exam question authoring. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is more focused on PDF form creation and completion than an exam-oriented editing flow. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Single Selection is a practical fit for users who already build exam content in WPS Forms on macOS and want a direct setup path inside the editor. Other products also support one-choice input, but they focus on spreadsheet controls, online forms, database properties, or PDF forms instead of the same exam editing flow.
