In the context of MongoDB's CRUD operations, which of the following best describes the fundamental difference between an `update` and an `upsert` operation when the target document is not found?

`update` will return a "document not found" error, while `upsert` will insert a new document based on the update criteria.

`update` will perform a partial update on existing documents only, while `upsert` will create a new document if none exists.

`upsert` only applies to array elements, whereas `update` can modify entire documents.

`update` will insert a new document, while `upsert` will return an error.

Q2Domain Verified

When performing a `deleteMany` operation in MongoDB, what is the primary implication of using an empty filter document (`{}`) compared to a specific filter document?

An empty filter document will delete all documents in the collection, while a specific filter will delete only documents matching the criteria.

An empty filter document will do nothing, while a specific filter will delete the first matching document.

An empty filter document will delete only the first matching document, while a specific filter will delete all matching documents.

An empty filter document will delete documents based on a default TTL index, while a specific filter requires explicit criteria.

Q3Domain Verified

Consider a scenario where you need to retrieve a document from a MongoDB collection and then immediately update a field within that retrieved document atomically. Which CRUD operation or combination of operations is most efficient and idiomatic for this task?

Execute a `find` operation with a projection to get the field, followed by an `update` operation.

Perform a `findOne` operation to retrieve the document, then perform a separate `updateOne` operation with the document's `_id`.

Utilize the `findAndModify` command (or its modern alias `findOneAndUpdate`) with the appropriate query and update parameters.

Employ a `bulkWrite` operation with separate `find` and `update` stages.
