Options:

• 0
• 1
• 2
• 3

Solution: 

 Answer is 3

Note: I recommend to test your code once by creating a simple console application, because your code might be different from above example.

Explanation: Once the document is inserted in collection, we remove that document from animal object and add a new one, after that to make sure that the _id does not violate the unique constraint, there is a provision to generate new _id everytime the document is inserted, so all three documents will be inserted with new _id successfully
