: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:-)
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

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

Which means none of those are valid? Since this is specifically “quit without saving”
