Did you try selecting multiple choices?
I was experiencing the same confusion with the completion screen for this question because I also thought you could only select one answer. I just tried it again and indeed, you can actually select multiple. I do think the UX does not communicate this properly, as the answer screen looks like other questions that do not allow you to select multiple (Fire hydrant type/location, bike stall type, etc).
@Enovale is correct. I wasn't aware you could select multiple. I think it is indeed a UI issue where it needs to be better communicated to the user that multiple options can be selected. It looks just like all the other quests where you can only select 1 answer (surface type, roof type, etc).
Quick fix would probably be to add wording on to the question or subtext that says something along the lines of "Select all that apply."
Yeah, the wording should be changed to be more clear. IIRC the wording currently is fust "Select:".
Would that be as easy as changing R.string.quest_select_hint
from "Select" to "Select one or more" or "Select all that apply"?
Will the text be offered for translation again when it is changed or would it be better to create a new string var for that?

And checking where it is also used (is it seen in any place where multiselect is not an option?)

it will continue to be offered, with new text, existing translation would not be invalidated
Switching to quest_select_hint2
or other new code would invalidate existing translations. (quest_multiselect_hint
?)

Is the one where I guess this Issue stems from (Image List) - can also be seen with "What can be recycled here?". Also: Marvel at the use of quest_roofShape_select_one
which clearly now is used for multiple other variants ;-)
quest_select_hint
is also used here:

(None of the implementations of FeatureViewController
do reset the hint, so that would need to be looked at)
and here:

With none of the Implementations of ImageListPickerDialog
apart from overlays/street_parking/StreetParkingOverlayForm.kt
not overwriting the title.
Switching to quest_select_hint2 or other new code would invalidate existing translations. (quest_multiselect_hint ?)
Yet, creating quest_multiselect_hint
and using that in the code would create a new translation, the other one wouldn't be invalidated and could be used in parallel, correct?

Yes.

Well, technically it can be renamed but then migration of what was translated at poeditor would be needed (likely manually, writing script for that would take even more effort)

That was just a smirky side-note. There are far more important things to consider than changing a resource's name :)
Not a native English speaker, but "Select all that apply" would sound better to me than "Select any that apply" for that new text, in order to emphasize that multiple values not only can, but in fact should, be selected?
Use case "What kind of Car Wash is this?" Quest needs to have an option for multiple combinations. For example some car washes in the US have both Self-Service and Automated options. They used different tags, such that they can simultaneously exist: self_service=yes automated=yes. Often, I am left choosing one or the other, which is incorrect. Often notes are left to indicate that they can't answer it since it is multiple.
Proposed Solution The user should be presented with options, where they can select multiple choices. For example, they can select "Automated", "Self-Service" and "Staff cleans car" or any combination of 2 or even just 1. If it has both "Self-Service" and "Staff cleans car", it should have "self_service=both".
