"Qu'est-ce que cela ?" doesn't cela mean "that" and not "this"?

"Qu'est-ce que cela ?" doesn't cela mean "that" and not "this"?

I got marked wrong on skipping "Qu'est-ce que cela ?" as an option for "what is this"?

Isn't "cela" strictly for "that"?

Merci beaucoup:)

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"
