If you want to display the text in to 3 lines based on your requirement, use <br/> Tag

<asp:label id="Label1" runat="server" text="This question is for Male<br/>his question is for 30 seconds only<br/>Thank you</asp:Label></pre><br mode=" hold=" />Result will be like below as you want<br mode=" xmlns:asp="#unknown"></asp:label>
