A drop-down list box would be the best choice as it allows for a limited number of options to be displayed in a compact format, making it easy for the user to select from the list. This is preferable over checkbox or radio buttons because there are 10 options in this case, which could clutter the form and make it difficult for the user to select from. Text area would not be applicable for this type of input.
