Answer 1

As simple as that. In your questions controller let's say your form is submitted to '/questions/yourActionMethodName'
Your code should look something like:
public function yourActionMethodName(){
if($this->request->is('post') && !empty($this->request->data)){
$this->Question->create(); //to save a new record
$this->Question->save($this->request->data);
}
}
This should create a new New record setting the database column value of field 'opt1' to the value selected by the user. I am not sure what's the case you are trying to solve. This should give you an idea of how things saved to database. Tell me more on the case and I could edit the code to match your needs.

you need put the model and name of this
<td><?php $attributes = array();
$options = array($question['Question']['opt1']);
echo $this->Form->radio('Model.'.$i.'.name', $options, $attributes);?> </td>
<td><?php $attributes = array();
$options = array($question['Question']['opt2']);
echo $this->Form->radio('Model.'.$i.'.name', $options, $attributes);?> </td>
<td><?php $attributes = array();
$options = array($question['Question']['opt3']);
echo $this->Form->radio('Model.'.$i.'.name', $options, $attributes);?> </td>
<td><?php $attributes = array();
$options = array($question['Question']['opt4']);
echo $this->Form->radio('Model.'.$i.'.name', $options, $attributes);?> </td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<td><?php echo $this->Form->end(__('Submit')); ?></td>
and after in your controller if you need save a lot fields you need use use saveAll or saveMany dep
public function Name(){
if($this->request->is('post') && !empty($this->request->data)){
$this->Question->create();
$this->Question->save($this->request->data);
}
}

well you have to load your model in your controller in order to create a new record in your DB
your view look like this:
<?php echo $this->Form->create('Question');?>
<td><?php $attributes = array();
$options = array($question['Question']['opt1']);
echo $this->Form->radio('Model.'.$i.'.name', $options, $attributes);?> </td>
<td><?php $attributes = array();
$options = array($question['Question']['opt2']);
echo $this->Form->radio('Model.'.$i.'.name', $options, $attributes);?> </td>
<td><?php $attributes = array();
$options = array($question['Question']['opt3']);
echo $this->Form->radio('Model.'.$i.'.name', $options, $attributes);?> </td>
<td><?php $attributes = array();
$options = array($question['Question']['opt4']);
echo $this->Form->radio('Model.'.$i.'.name', $options, $attributes);?> </td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<td><?php echo $this->Form->end(__('Submit')); ?></td>
now in your controller you have to load your model before creating a new record
public function NameOfYourFunction(){
$this->loadModel('Question');
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
if ($this->Question->save($this->request->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Information save succesfully.'));
return $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
}
}
}
i hope i helped you
