Just for the record, audio interface pretty much counts as a "keyboard or mouse" here.

The quiz also limits the returned options to Thunderbolt cables once you select "external hard drive" - which is pretty silly; I have plenty of external hard drives around here - all of them use USB 3 and none does Thunderbolt.

I think the quiz is taking the opinionated conclusion that your cable must connect to any external hard drive and provide maximum throughput.

And for that, you need Thunderbolt 4.

...and yet it's still suggesting a Thunderbolt 3 cable as well.
