"No" is the correct answer if the credit was not taken all 4 years already.
The wording is :
"Has the Hope Scholarship Credit or American opportunity credit been claimed for this student for any 4 tax years
before 2019?
Yes — Stop!
No — Go to line 24."
Confusing, but the IRS wrote it.
Same as saying "Has the credit been taken 4 times already?"
In your case, "No".
