both team have equal amount of pieces until one side plays one of the moves

Forking a Queen and King as even of the king is able to capture the knight, the loss of material will be less compared to losing a rook if you pin the queen to the king using a rook. But it depends whether you think a knight or bishop is more useful than the other.

i think losing a knight for a queen is better than a bishop

AbikiAndHannah

oh it depends

The knight fork (Option 2) is generally the most decisive of these attacks, as it creates a forced capture of the queen without needing any additional setup or support.

AbikiAndHannah

yes but the knight might get captured

That is complete nonsense. The skewer doesn't need any additional setup or support either.
