Quiz: From the options presented, which is the most secure way to store your seed phrase?
IMHO this really depends (e.g. who can get access to that paper) and I would completely remove that question. We should get people to do shamir backups (when really encouraging seeds) instead of writing down the seed somewhere.
This issue is stale because it has been open 45 days with no activity.
The quiz here is targeting a less-advanced audience; wouldn't recommend we go down the shamir backup path for that reason... I do agree this is somewhat dependent on the individuals setup, but the overall point trying to be made with this question is that storing in a digital form opens yourself up to a lot of possible long-range attacks via the internet, as opposed to only attacks that require in-person access.
Perhaps an adjustment to "Of the options shown, which method of backup is least vulnerable to attacks over the internet?"

Yeah this is a stale mate situation as we have many times discussed, there are very few to none "safe" options for storing recovery phrase for beginners when we consider possibilities for human error prevention as part of the basic security model. Many times that outweighs the risk of being attacked.
I would recommend updating the answers and question based on simulator on this page:
What is the safest way for beginner with limited funds to store recovery phrase:
✅ Consider saving in a password manager ❌Texting it to a friend (or anyone!) ❌Taking a picture of the phrase ❌Saving it in a file on your computer
