Move from layer to layer
In my Storyline course, learners will select a particular hotspot on the base layer. When they select the correct hotspot, a "Correct feedback" layer opens. On this layer, the learner is asked a multiple choice question. If they answer incorrectly, they are taken to an "Incorrect answer" layer. From there, how can I build it so they can return to the layer with the multiple-choice question?
You could add a try again button on the 'Incorrect answer' layer with a trigger to 'show layer' the one with the MCQ. In the MCQ's layer make sure layer properties have 'When revisiting: Reset to initial state' set, otherwise the learner's wrong selection is still highlighted when they come back.

Thanks! Is "Try again" a special type of button? Where can I find it?
Not a special type of button, no. It's just a standard button that you insert yourself and label "Try again". The name has no meaning to SL, it's only there so the learner knows what it does.
To add one: Insert > Button, then draw it on your Incorrect layer, double-click it to type the text, and use the Format tab to style it.
So once the button is on the layer, select it, then in the Triggers panel click the plus sign and set up: Action > Show layer, Layer: MCQ layer. When: User clicks. Object: Try again button
as it is on a the baselayer I think the trigger is hide layer
Not sure the MCQ is on the base layer as I read the OP’s comment. I may be wrong!
The MCQ is not on the base layer. And DShaw was correct. That worked, thank you!
You can mark his answer as the solution, I believe.
