MongoDB MCQ Set 1
1. MongoDB supports tagging a range of _______ key values to associate that range with a shard or group of shards.

a) Shard key range tags are distinct from replica set member tags
b) Balancer does not obey tagged range associations
c) Hash-based sharding only supports tag-aware sharding on an entire collection
