Technical performance measures sound important, but I think they’re more about evaluating the system rather than defining its functions.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like modes of operation might not be the right choice since they deal more with how the system operates rather than what it needs to do.

Functional requirement, for sure. Although I'm a little disappointed they didn't include an option for 'make the entire system run on hamster power. That would be a real challenge!
