In this Option, you can use both of the Grading Systems i.e. Correct/Incorrect and Points Based.
Correct Answer Logic
If in a quiz user can submit more than one answer then you can use this option to set the correct answer logic to evaluate the same. The correct answer logic helps you achieve this.

- Any correct answer – Some of the answers selected by the user are to be marked as correct. This means, the user can select any of the correct answers and the answer will be marked as correct.
