In addition to what Clive has mentioned:
For 2/, it is also possible to say "Would you choose (1) or (2) as the definition of this word?"
Saying "Will you choose ..." is correct grammatically, but not really an appropriate usage for the questions you have been asking in the forum.

Hi,
1. Would you choose (1) or (2) as the definition of this word?
2. Will you choose (1) or (2) as the definition of this word?
They are the same meaning but (1) is more polite.
Am I right? Is there any difference between them?

Hi,
Is there any difference between them? The biggest difference is that you'll rarely or never hear anyone say #2.
Best wishes, Clive
