What's the difference between fantasy and paranormal?
Fantasy is a larger, blanket genre that includes paranormal. Paranormal uses elements of the unknown, such as ghosts, vampires, were-beasts, Psi-powers, shapeshifters, etc...
It seems for the purpose of this poll, Fantasy is being used as a catch-all for High Fantasy. That is, your more traditional Narnia or LOTR-type novels. Magic, sword-and-sorcery, dragons, etc...

And couldn't something that's fantasy also be action/adventure?
Yes, so if you write both, check both. However, you can have action/adventure without fantasy.
