From a purely legal perspective, anyone can and should answer “no” since those terms have no meaning.

Can you explain your statement further?

>>Can you explain your statement further?<<

Sure: What is a “militia?” Where is it defined in the law? What case law supports the definition? Most importantly, how would someone who is filling out a form supposed to know said definition, even if it exists?

Likewise, if I am a member of a group that is called “Tea Party 2nd Amendment group” and we go the gun range together once a week, is that a “militia?”

Who is to say? Guess what? Unless and until the definitions are LEGALLY instantiated, the terms have no meaning.
