Well, bose-x's calculation is wrong ... as are all of the possible answers given!

Pressure altitude is what the altimeter reads if 1013mb is set on the sub-scale.

If the altimeter reads zero when 992mb is set, it will read 630ft with 1013mb set.

The airfield elevation is a distractor in this question. Unfortunately, it also distracted the questioner!
