'mysql: [ERROR] Found option without preceding group in config file c:\users\alec at line 1

I have an interview question that requires their pre-created SQL file to be run, everytime I try and run this in MySQL it produces this error and have no idea how to fix it.

    -- MySQL dump 10.13  Distrib 5.7.16, for Linux (x86_64)
    --
    -- Host: localhost    Database: brainstation
