Ya it is true that their are lot of Airdrops giveaways are created back like old days but this time they are using google forms to fill. but some google applications forms are asking to login gmail account and then fill the form. I think this option is not safe as they can hack the account, so users should be safe while using this option to fill the application.

I would be careful if you need to login with your account. But i also think you have to be careful with every site requesting details from you. There is no 100% safety, but if you are looking for the threads here, normally somebody has experience with the airdrop you are willing to join.

Agree as long as you don't give out your private key. It should be fine.

I'd say it's an interesting way of learning about new products and getting some free money on osme that do make it. As long as you don't give away any sensitive info like private key or passwords like the other poster have mentiones, you'll be good, also be careful with links sent on some of the telegram or dicord groups they ask you to join, some of them are phishing attempts from other users

Since you are submitting only public key of wallets, it doesn't risky. But the problem is most of scammers using airdrops for their scams.  Creating a  token a just a one hour work for good developer. So scammer develop tokens and do fake ICOs. So dnt invest in ICOs if u dont hv any idea about it

I would avoid every option where you have to fill your personal data, mail account or something so I agree this is not safe because these information could be easily misused. Generaly airdrops are becoming very popular but that also attracts many scamers in the hunt for naive users so you could be never safe enough.
