Create Table MyTable
(
mainkey int not null identity (-1,-1)
)
GO
insert into MyTable default values
insert into MyTable default values
insert into MyTable default values
Select * from MyTable
== > ok in that case mainkey will increase by -1 ,
it will show -1,
-1+(-1)=-2
-2 + (-1) =-3
and so on

Also, if the identity increment was -1, then both option 1 and 3 would be correct, as there is no clustered index to order it, and no ORDER BY statement specified, so either -1, -2, -3 or -3, -2, -1 could be the result.
+1
Without explicit ORDER BY, there is no way we can predict the order. We could get any permutation, such as 1-,-3,-2 or -2,-1,-3 and so on.
Can you fix the incorrect multiple choice?
