This is the default question type. Multichoice questions are popular questions where the student is asked to choose one answer from a set of alternatives. The correct answer takes the student further into the lesson, the wrong answers do not. The wrong answers are sometimes called the distractors and the utility of these questions often rely more on the quality of the distractors than either the questions themselves or their correct answers.

Here is a question presented in the lesson End of Branches 102.  Quiz questions will look the same from the student view.

Each answer given by the student can optionally have a response given by the teacher. If no response is entered for an answer then the default reponse "That's the Correct Answer" or "That's the Wrong Answer" is shown to the student.  In Moodle 1.6, after the student answers a lesson question, they are shown the question and the response.
 
It is possible to have more than one correct answer to a multichoice question. The different correct answers may give the student different responses and jump to different (forward) pages in the lesson but do not vary in their grades, (that is, some answers are not more correct than others, at least in terms of grade.) It is possible for all the answers to be correct and they might take the student to different (forward) parts of the lesson depending on which one is chosen. (Although it's probably neater to use a Branch Table to accomplish this).
