Comments.Text: I've never tried to expose a field to specify optional actons. If there is no browser based way to do it then it seems like it should be fairly easy to hook on form submission to chech a submitted value and then call the API to create an activity.

  The following steps should do it (requires version 4.10+ of the webform-civicrm integration module):
  
  1. Make the "Activity Type" field "User Select"
  2. Customize that field to remove all options except for "None" and the activity type you want.
  3. Optionally rename the field on the webform "Create Activity"
  4. Optionally rename the option labels to "Yes" and "No"
