Qur'an 2:32 Al-Baqarah
قَالُوا۟ سُبْحَٰنَكَ لَا عِلْمَ لَنَآ إِلَّا مَا عَلَّمْتَنَآ ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ
They said, "Exalted are You; we have no knowledge except what You have taught us. Indeed, it is You who is the Knowing, the Wise."

What it says
The angels do not attempt the names. They answer with a declaration that whatever they know traces back to what they were taught, and close by naming Allah as the one whose knowledge and wisdom go together. The reply concedes the test rather than contesting it.
