Of three choices, the correct one was "Saya ingin jus stroberi." This word wasn't in the lesson. Any difference between "ingin" and "mau"?

I once asked that question somewhere else:
https://hinative.com/questions/2691271
According to that:
-
mau → "To want", intransitive, informal. Used in a sentence with or without a direct object. It may be used after or before the object.
-
hendak → "To have the intention of…"
-
menghendaki → "To want", transitive, formal. Used before a direct object. Because of its me-prefix, it can't be used after the object.
-
ingin → "To want", intransitive, informal. Used in a sentence with or without a direct object. It must be used before the object, never after it.
-
inginkan → "To want", transitive, informal. Used after a direct object. Used before an object only in literature.
-
menginginkan → "To want", transitive, formal. Complete form of 'inginkan'. Because of its me-prefix, it can't be used after the object.
