In theory, not many.
In practice, there are 3 primary ones :
The question is asked disingenuously/disearnestly. Some examples of this are rhetorical questions (possibly part of a gish gallop), or questions that are purely intended to mock/deride/insult etc.
The question asked is a non-sequitur and/or distraction from the discussion at hand. This is a tactic essentially analogous to a red herring, though can certainly be unintentional as well.
The question asked is an exercise for the earnest student. In this case, although i could simply answer the question - spoonfeeding the answer actually weakens the student and makes them less capable of answering questions on their own in the future (feed a man a fish, and all that). In this case i am happy to supply any and all assistance i can to a student which has tried and failed to answer such questions on their own, but i can only do that once they explain what they have tried / where they have looked first - so that i can, hopefully, point them in the right direction.
