RADIO buttons are the small circles option. You can list out as many items as you like with Radio buttons, but only one answer per grouping can be activated at a time. If a new one is selected, the last one becomes unselected.
Note : Notice the NAME value is the same for the group of choices. This is how a radio button can tell if a new value is selected. Only one value can be held in a specified name at one time.
To have a second radio button set on the page, a different NAME value must be used.
