Tant de personnes versus autant de personnes

The first time I did this exercise I used "tant de personnes" and it was marked as correct.  The second time I did the same thing but it was marked as an error with "autant de personnes" being the only accepted phrase.  I am struggling with this usage and difference in corrections.  Thanks!

Bonjour Anne,

I checked all the options recorded in the exercises. Both options you used are correct and interchangeable in this context. I also did the exercise and all worked well on my end. If the issue persists, don't hesitate to get back in touch directly via our Helpdesk.

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
