What steps are to be taken to understand which list is to be used ?

Answer 1

if you want to enumerate something or make a list kinda things to do use ol(ordered list) that haves numbers for each one, it looks like this:

<ol>
<li>text<li>
</ol>

if you want to make a list that doesn't needs an order use ul(unordered list) that looks like this:

<ul>
<li>text<li>
</ul>

if you want to add more than one item just add more <li> tags
