You do not include the .py extension in an import
statement. It should read

import Question

Also by convention modules use lowercase names.

You are trying to instantiate a Question object but it is (presumably)
defined in the question.py class which you import. If so you need to
prefix it with the module name like so

Question.Question(...)

List indices start from zero so your highest index should be 3.
Assuming you intend to use the '4' as an index to the correct answer?

???
I'm expecting a class definition here with at least
__init__() and ask() methods. And it needs to store
the question, possible answers and correct answer
somewhere too?
