There is a 0 in the bottom row. That is the smallest number. That's why these were all wrong. Also it says number singular and they circled all 3

Number, not digit. But I see what you mean.

Now isn't the time to start being pedantic about rules.

edit: the prompt says "Circle the smallest number" and not "Circle the smallest number that appears below". What is the smallest number? 0 (at least by magnitude, negative numbers are just bigger numbers in the negative direction). So the prompt effectively says "Circle the zero"

If we're going to work off the "that appears below" assumption. then the smallest number is "1" and not 1, 2, and 3. So circling all 3 is incorrect.

If we're going to work off "that appears below, not including the categories" then the number to circle is 15 specifically. Not the "2." in front of it.

And if there is a "circle the category indicator number for the category that includes the smallest number below" implication, then it's truly just a bad question. Make it clear what you want.

I wrote the original reply as a joke. Clearly we're not playing by any sort of rules here. so worrying about the difference between digit and number is kinda funny. but then I thought it would be fun to actually drastically overthink it and be overly pedantic about what the question says.

So no, not bitter. I just have a very bad sense of humor and find dumb things entertaining.
