html incorrectly has dashed border

Question

I am having an issue with the HTML that is used in a .net web form application. The problem is a dashed line line border is being displayed around the left, right, and bottom borders of where the 'option 1' and 'option 2 with corresponding wording is displayed.
The html that is being displayed is the deprecated apple-style-span class. Thus can you show me how to fix the html that is listed in code so the border does not display in the html?

Here is the html:

'<blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;"><blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;"><blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;"><blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;"><blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;"><blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;"><blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;"><blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;"><blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;"><blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;"><blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;"><blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;"><blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px;">
