Sub-question relevance just works like the question or group relevance. You check the conditions under which you want to show a certain subquestion.
Assuming that the subquestion codes in Q1 are Opt1, etc. you would write something like Q1_OPT1=="Y" into the subquestion relevance field to show a subquestion if in the previous question OPT1 was marked.
