I think it's better to put scalability as a separate choice. Wikipedia says:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalability

"A system whose performance improves after adding hardware, proportionally to the capacity added, is said to be a scalable system."

But in that sense, other non-functional characteristics, like availability and manageability, can be the additional choices, too.

Anyway, I just put an example of the dummy (guiding) question. Any interesting alternative dummy question/choices can be ok.
