Solution 1

Try putting relevant filters using WHERE clause.
Example:

SQL

SELECT Question, Option
FROM MyQuestions
WHERE Option<>0 --required filter here
ORDER BY Question

Hope, it helps :)

using this it will not eliminate all the values but it only eliminate the values which have option as 0

Solution 2

Try:

SQL

DELETE FROM MyTable 
WHERE Question IN 
     (SELECT DISTINCT Question 
	  FROM MyTable 
	  WHERE [Option] = 0)
