It could be a trap question to see if people pay attention. AFAIK, something like that didn't happen yet, so if someone answers that they "know it well", then they know that the agent taking the survey likely isn't paying attention and just randomly choosing answers.
Alternatively, it could be an event that is planned internally that just accidentally made its way into the survey.
I'm not sure if Niantic is asking about Shards during Anomalies or as a standalone event. If the was a standalone City Shard event, I've never head of it 😅
Flash shards have been a part of numerous anomalies, but they were first introduced as standalone events as part of the Abaddon series in October 2015. Per my records 4 cities had flash shard events in that series - London, United Kingdom, Zurich, Switzerland, Boston, MA, USA, and Houston, TX, USA.
Recently (the 9-year anniversary event?) there were flash battle beacons in cities that had hosted Mission Days. That included "flash" and "city", but not "shard", lol. Maybe they're building to shards.
Most of the world doesn't know the flash BB thing happened... I only know because I read it in forums.

Simultaneous shard events for select cities, perhaps? Akin to Hexathlon. Assuming from the term they use.

When Niantic was testing shards in Prime, they actually had an event (of sorts):

We have had shards at Anomalies, these were quite fun, both on site and remote recharging
