}

ul {
  list-style-type: none;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  overflow: hidden;
  background-color: #333;
}

li {
  float: left;
  width: 25%;
  text-align: center;
}

li a,
.dropbtn {
  display: inline-block;
  color: white;
  text-align: center;
  padding: 14px 16px;
  text-decoration: none;
}

li a:hover,
.dropdown:hover .dropbtn {
  background-color: red;
}

li.dropdown {
  display: inline-block;
}

.dropdown-content {
  display: none;
  position: absolute;
  background-color: #f9f9f9;
  min-width: 160px;
  box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);

overflow: hidden causes all things that are displayed outside the original element's rectangle to get cropped and hidden. When you remove this line, everything works fine.

Remove overflow: hidden; from #apDiv2, it is forcing the browser to block the dropdown content.

You should be using

#apDiv2 {
  position: fixed;
  width: 100%;
  height: auto;
  float: none;
  z-index: 6;
  list-style-type: none;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  background-color: #333333;
  z-index: 6
}

It is because you're using the CSS rule overflow: hidden on both your #apDiv2 and ul elements. Remove the rule from them and you should see your dropdown menus.
