Is this quiz question wrong for Express Basics?

Taking the quiz for:

What happens when an object is passed into the `next` function?

It has four options and it indicates the correct answer as:

Execution is passed to the next error handling middleware function

In the course context the block was used for error handling:

app.use((err, req, res, next) => {
  res.locals.error = err
  res.status(err.status)
  res.render('error')
})

but in general wouldn't the correct answer for this be the option of:

Execution is passed to the next middleware function

My understanding when next() is used it can either go to error or the next middleware. Looking for clarity because this quiz question is bugging me.
