It depends on the type of class and dickishness of the instructors. Some instructors will do that because they want the BEST answer, and so they'll put two answers in that are technically correct to test whether a student understands which one is superior. If they're grading on a curve they don't care if making the test more difficult in that way means the percentage of correctly answered questions is lower across the board because they know the curve will lift the grades back up.

Often time they're just lazy and you might not even get full points for the best answer, because they wrongly worded the question but won't admit it. Happens a lot lol
