Also depends on the position you are being interviewed for:Database Developer vs Database Administrator as well as level Junior, Mid, or Senior. That would also impact the correctness of the answer. I would hope a senior DBA would be more likely to answer regarding the system databases correctly than a junior DBA.

Back to this question, though, I did not see it as a trick question. In fact, for me, it reinforced the fact that there are 5 system databases, reminding me about the little known Resource database.
