Exhaustive. Remember the requirements of formulating multiple choice questions. What if we put this question to a fantasy fan?
Mutually exclusive. The genres “comedy” and “romantic comedy”, and “music” and “musical” seem to overlap. Also, is “movie” a genre? Is “music”?
Ambiguity. What is “often”? For one it may be every day, for another once a month. Also, respondents get no instruction about how many options they can choose.
