I agree that plenty of sisters will ask out of pure curiosity or chit-chat, without any planning or intention behind it. Chapters are intensely curious with who they are competing with, and this question can sometimes serve as a thermometer more than anything else.
BUT, to add a little caution: the answer to this question can sometimes nudge a preffer's opinion of a PNM if it's lukewarm to begin with, especially if you're preffing at chapters that don't typically compete against one another. Each chapter could be thinking "Huh - what did we miss about this girl?" and it could be either good or bad.
This is a question you'll sometimes get in job interviews, and it serves a similar purpose - to gauge what your other options are, and who else has deemed you hire-worthy. I personally think it's better to be honest with where you're preffing, emphasize or spin that you're preffing with the chapters you love the most and why, and turn the focus to why and how much you love the chapter you're with at that particular moment.
These are skills you will need throughout your life. Learn them now.
