python - How may I define more option in my question?

Question

a1=str(input("4.Name one neighbouring country of India."))
if a1.lower()== ("pakistan"):                  
    print("correct +20 Score")
    score+=20
if a1.lower()== ("china"):                  
    print("correct +20 Score")
    score+=20
if a1.lower()== ("nepal"):                  
    print("correct +20 Score")
    score+=20
if a1.lower()== ("bhutan"):                  
    print("correct +20 Score")
    score+=20
if a1.lower()== ("bangladesh"):                  
    print("correct +20 Score")
    score+=20    
if a1.lower()== ("myanmar"):                 
    print("correct +20 Score")
    score+=20
if a1.lower()== ("sri lanka"):                  
    print("correct +20 Score")
    score+=20
if a1.lower()== ("maldivs"):                  
    print("correct +20 Score")
    score+=20    
else:
    print("incorrect +0 Score")

I made this cause my question contains 8 answers but in output, it prints both "correct +20 Score" and "incorrect +0 Score". I want to fix it Please help me.

You need to use else statements when comparing, not multiple ifs. If you need multiple ifs you should use elif.

However, it would be much more clear and concise to store your answers in a list and check if the users response exists in the list, else no score.

neighbouring = ['pakistan', 'china', 'nepal', 'bhutan', 'bangladesh', 'myanmar', 'sri lanka', 'maldivs']

a1=str(input("4.Name one neighbouring country of India."))

if a1.lower() in neighbouring:
    print('correct 20 score')
    score += 20
else:
    print('incorrect')
