I agree with Rick, TR, and Peregrino. What they are trying to do is to focus you in (no pun please) some in terms of requirements. Unfortunately, most folks new to this don't know how to define their requirements.
Here is a question that may 'hep'.
What type of target will you be shooting for the majority of your shooting time?
If hunting -- what type of game and where in terms of geography.
If you intend on shooting competitively -- what sport or discipline?
If for pure enjoyment, what is the average size of the target you will shoot, at what average distance, and at what maximum distance? Give a SWAG on the size and distances.
Do you have a significant requirement to shoot targets that are moving?
You see, optics are a bit more specific than cartridges or rifle design in terms of use. There is no one size fits all with optics.
Give it your best and before folks starts saying "you forgot this or that" -- read the questions I asked and look at the implied requirements involved with each question.
