I present a quiz to students through PPT.
I'd like to give them some background music while they're taking the quiz.
Tell me how to apply background music in ZOOM.

Add background music in the PPT and share them with computer audio.

Procedure: 

Step 1 – Go to the Insert Tab.
Step 2 – Select media>Audio > Audio on my PC.
Step 3 – Navigate to the audio file on your PC. Select the file > Insert.
Step 4 – Select – Play in background option.
Step 5 – Save the file.

You can (when sharing your Powerpoint) tick the box that says "share sound"

That will then play whatever audio track from your computer you want (a file, Spotify etc.) through the meeting!

 

If you want to go one better with it, you can also introduce the Timer Zoom App, which would also give you a countdown clock (a bit of fun)
