        $(this).attr("disabled",true);
    }

or

Try this. You might want to pass the value of each answer to a PHP file that performs backend work via AJAX.

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js" ></script>
<script>
    $('#question').submit(function(){
       //Get the value of the answer that was checked
       var answer = $('input:radio[name=question_one]:checked').val();

       //Use jQuery's AJAX function to send the data to a PHP file that does backend work 
       $.ajax({  
          type:'POST',  
          url:'quiz_backend.php',  
          data:'answer='+ answer,
          success: function() {
              //Hide the submit button upon successful submission
              $('#submit').attr("disabled", true);
              event.preventDefault();
          }
       });
    });
</script>

<form id="question">
   <input type="radio" name="question_one" value="answer_one">A<br />
   <input type="radio" name="question_one" value="answer_two">B<br />
   <input type="radio" name="question_one" value="answer_three">C<br />
   <input type="radio" name="question_one" value="answer_four">D<br />

   <input type="submit" value="submit" id="submit"/>
</form>
