You may have missed the part where I pointed out that it's a fine question .. that requires an opportunity for comment.

It's not a multi choice question (a form I dislike) but a question that requires a reasoned response.



>it's a fine question

>It's not a multi choice question

But it IS a multiple choice question, and it is ambiguous, which is why it's not a fine question. It's a sloppy, poorly constructed question, which isn't even enumerated correctly, allowing the instructor to select the "correct" answer based on unspecified reasoning, potentially discriminating against the person answering the question (which I suspect is the intention).


> which isn't even enumerated correctly

You keep saying this, but the screenshot shows that the student has used an elimination tool (the X on the left) to eliminate one of the possible answers (C).

The question looks like it's from albert.io, so the answer is predetermined (and generally provided by the vendor).
