Divide laravel table into 4 columns from a single foreach

I have a foreach loop that has data.
I am using a foreach loop to echo the data out into a table.

@foreach($data as $key)
 <tr>
   <td>{{$key->option_name}}</td>
</tr>
@endforeach()

This gives me a table with one column and 1 row of data. This table only has one data field and instead of one long list of data, i want it spread over 4 columns.

I would like to have 4 columns so the table looks nice and neat.

Please see attached example image.

    This is expected. Your code basically performs the following:

    FOR EVERY ITEM IN THIS ARRAY:
    MAKE A NEW TABLE ROW CONTAINING ONE COLUMN WITH THE OPTION NAME

    Ideally, what you need is a collection of data with the fields you want to add in your table. For example:

    $data = collect([[
    'name' => 'John',
    'age' => 18,
    'eye_colour' => 'brown'
  ],
  ...]);

@foreach($data as $person)
    <tr>
        <td>{{ $person->name }}</td>
        <td>{{ $person->age }}</td>
        <td>{{ $person->eye_colour }}</td>
    </tr>
@endforeach

    instead of creating a new row and column for each data point, simply don’t create a new row by putting the tr outside the loop

    <tr>
  @foreach($data as $key)
    <td>{{$key->option_name}}</td>
  @endforeach()
</tr>
