Could be multiple choice...
Could be an open-ended question.

Not sure, do you have an example?

I would say multiple choice.
If you know the exact number of choices, then there exist words that express some of them
binary - 2
ternary - 3
quintal - 4
octal - 8
decimal - 10
hexadecimal - 16
etc.

A compromise comes to mind.
