check boxes

Forms have these

Check boxes are small squares on forms or interfaces that users mark to indicate selection—typically with a checkmark or X.

Unlike radio buttons, check boxes allow multiple selections: Check all boxes that apply.

The verb phrase means to mark such squares: I check boxed all the options.

Also spelled as one word: checkboxes.
