:wq will save and then exit, while :x will save only if the file has been modified and then exit, and then there's ZZ that does the same as :x, plus there are probably others:-)
The question specifically asked for "the command to quit Vim without saving"
They explicitly ask for the one that quits without saving, so I'd say :q! is the obvious choice
I agree that it's the most obvious choice, but it also doesn't work when there are hidden buffers open. :qa! and :cq should always work so they are arguably more correct
Which means none of those are valid? Since this is specifically "quit without saving"
