 # RadioButtonGroup
 
-`RadioButtonGroup` is used for selecting single value from multiple options.
+`RadioButtonGroup` is used to select a single value from multiple mutually exclusive options.
 
-Use `RadioButtonGroup` if there are up to four options available. Otherwise use Select component.
+### When to use
+
+Use `RadioButtonGroup` for mutually exclusive selections if there are up to four options available. This is because the `RadioButtonGroup` cannot have more than one row and should still accommodate small resolutions. For a mutually exclusive selection of more than four options, use `Select` component.
+
+Radio buttons can only exist in this type of group. If you want one single option, it's better to use `Switch` instead. To offer multiple choices within the same group or context which are not mutually exclusive, use `Checkbox` instead.
