Ignorance is curable.

You cannot force in HTML, really.

That can be "forced", in a sense, by using <br>. Of course, it does not
really force. How could you force next line when your document is in
fact rendered as speech, not as visible characters?

Option1<br>
Option2<br>
Option3

or perhaps better

<div>Option1</div>
<div>Option2</div>
<div>Option3</div>

Please don't. We use plain text here.

Are they paragraphs? If they are, use that markup, and worry about
rendering later. (It's easy to fix it in CSS.) If not, use other
markup. We cannot really guess what it should be, unless we know the
real content and context. Maybe they are actually items in a list?
