Radio Group
The Radio Group allows the user to select one option from a set.
Use radio buttons when the user needs to see all available options.If available options can be collapsed, consider using aSelect component because it uses less space.
Radio buttons should have the most commonly used option selected by default.

Accessibility
(WAI-ARIA:https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/radio/)
All form controls should have labels, and this includes radio buttons, checkboxes, and switches. In most cases, this is done by using the
<label>element (FormControlLabel).When a label can't be used, it's necessary to add an attribute directly to the input component.In this case, you can apply the additional attribute (for example
aria-label,aria-labelledby,title) via theinputPropsproperty.
<Radiovalue="radioA"inputProps={{'aria-label':'Radio A',}}/>API
