For persons singular the article is not used. In the plural like "i miei figli" it is.

I think it is because you do not use the definite article with family members. I gave the same answer as you, but without "la", and it was accepted.
You have to use tge definite article with plural family members, so it's "i miei figli", not just "miei figli". Di+i=dei, so in full it's "dei miei figli". I lost a heart for forgetting that :P
Ragazzi is more of an age group. Figli is more about sons/daughters.
They were ragazzi at one point, but will always be figli of their parents.
I'm inclined to think bambini are usually babies and toddlers, and figli are children in general.

You use figlio, figlia, figli and/or figlie to refer to someone's sons or daughters, regardless of their age.
Did anyone notice that one of the incorrect options translates to "My wife is the grandmother of my children". Uhhh......gross! lol!
Can i use "bambini" for children (instead of figli)? It was marked as wrong although I think bambini sounds more appealing to me -shrugs-
Everyone gets different options on the multiple choice. You need to explicitly copy what it says to here, otherwise we have no way of knowing what the sentence says.
