Why do I need to know this?

A question from the Official Motorcycle Theory Test CD:

“Supertrams or Light Rapid Transit systems (LRT) are environmentally friendly because?
A) They use diesel power
B) They use electric power
C) They use quieter roads
D) They do not operate during rush hour”

This question in no way tests my knowledge of the highway code, safety procedures or anything else that might be useful if I was riding a motorcycle. If it was used in an actual theory test the only reason I can think of it being there is to catch out people who would otherwise be borderline passes.
