I suggest you to use CSS Grid to accomplish this job:
form {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 150px 200px;
text-align: center;
}
.first-column {
text-align: right;
}
input, select {
margin-left: 5px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
.check-area label {
display: block;
text-align: left;
}
.submit-button {
grid-column-start: 2;
text-align: left;
}
<form>
<label class="first-column">Name:</label><input type="text">
<label class="first-column">Address</label><input type="text">
<label class="first-column">Email ID:</label><input type="text">
<div class="first-column">
How many Peices of fruit<br>do you eat per day?
</div>
<div class="check-area">
<label>
<input type="radio" name="rdbGender" id="rdbGender">0
</label>
<label>
<input type="radio" name="rdbGender" id="rdbGender">1
</label>
<label>
<input type="radio" name="rdbGender" id="rdbGender">2
</label>
<label>
<input type="radio" name="rdbGender" id="rdbGender">More than 2
</label>
</div>
<label class="first-column">Degree:</label>
<select multiple>
<option selected>apple</option>
<option>banana</option>
<option>plum</option>
<option>pomegranate</option>
</select>
<label class="first-column">Would you like a<br>brochure?</label>
<input type="checkbox" align="right">
<div class="submit-button"><input type="submit"></div>
</form>

Do you want like this? Only html:
<form>
<table align="center">
<tr>
<td align="right">Name </td>
<td><input type="text"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right"><br>Address </td>
<td><br><input type="text"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right"><br>Email ID </td>
<td><br><input type="text"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<label for="rdbGender">
<br>
How many Peices of fruit <br> do you eat per day?<br><br><br><br>
</label>
</td>
<td>
<input type="radio" name="rdbGender" id="rdbGender">0<br>
<input type="radio" name="rdbGender" id="rdbGender">1<br>
<input type="radio" name="rdbGender" id="rdbGender">2<br>
<input type="radio" name="rdbGender" id="rdbGender">More than 2
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">
<br>
<label for="degree">
My favourite fruit <br><br><br><br><br>
</label>
</td>
<td>
<select id="degree" multiple>
<option selected>apple</option>
<option>banana</option>
<option>plum</option>
<option>pomegranate</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<tr align="right">
<td> Would you like a <br>
brochure
</td>
<td align="left"> <input type="checkbox"></td>
</tr>

I had a hard time understand how you had been writing this code:
<form align="center">
and
<input type="checkbox" align="right"/>
As align
is not a valid attribute of an input
or form
tag.
But what it looks like is that it used, and has long since been removed.
https://www.w3.org/TR/html401/present/graphics.html#adef-align
Note that on my browser (Firefox 81.0) your code doesn't center align like it does in your picture:
So that suggests to me that you are using an old browser.
I recommend using the MDN documentation to see what is elements are supported.
However, if you are supporting outdated then that's a whole discipline in itself.
This page lists all available HTML attributes:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes
To give you a useful answer though - judging on the 'supposed to look like' image, it looks like you want to be using a table.
<form>
<table>
<tr>
<td align="right">Name:</td>
<td><input type="text"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">Address</td>
<td><input type="text"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right"> Email ID:</td>
<td> <input type="text"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right"> How many Peices of fruit do you eat per day?</td>
<td>
<input type="radio" name="rdbGender" id="rdbGender"> 0
<input type="radio" name="rdbGender" id="rdbGender">1
<input type="radio" name="rdbGender" id="rdbGender">2<br>
<input type="radio" name="rdbGender" id="rdbGender">More than 2 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">
Degree:
</td>
<td>
<select multiple>
<option selected>apple</option>
<option>banana</option>
<option>plum</option>
<option>pomegranate</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<tr align="right">
<td> Would you like a brochure</td>
<td align="left"> <input type="checkbox"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td> <input type="submit"></td>
</table>
</form>
Note here, we do use the align
attribute. As you can see, according to the MDN documentation, align
is supported on a td
element, but is deprecated, meaning that it's not advisable to use it.
