Answer 1

It’s pretty obvious you’re trying to compare Enumeration Types with Strings, which aren’t the same and can’t be compared like that. Instead, I think you should try replacing this bit of code:

public string Result
{
    get
    {
        if (m_UserAns == m_CorrectAnswer)
        {
            return "Correct";
        }
        else
        {
            return "Incorrect";
        }
    }
}

with

public ResultValue Result
{
    get
    {
        if (m_UserAns == m_CorrectAnswer)
        {
            return ResultValue.Correct;
        }
        else
        {
            return ResultValue.Incorrect;
        }
    }
}
