"Qu'est-ce que c'est" versus "Qu'est-ce qu | French Q & A

"Qu'est-ce que c'est" versus "Qu'est-ce que"

I keep getting marked incorrect in my A0 quiz when asked to fill in the blank. Every time I will use one of these and it will say I should use the opposite. I don't understand why/when to use one variant over the other, especially when there is no indication of formality in the question. At this point I feel like I'm taking the quiz over and over due to this one mistake and just switching between the two but always incorrect.

Take "le Sacré Coeur" as an example, which variant should I use and why?

Qu'est-ce que c'est le Sacré Coeur?
Qu'est-ce que le Sacré Coeur?

This question relates to:French lesson "Qu'est-ce que c'est... and Qu'est-ce que c'est que ça/cela ? = What is... / What's that? in French"
