What result does the $nin operator yield in a MongoDB query?

The $nin operator in a MongoDB query is designed specifically to exclude documents that match one or more specified values. When this operator is used, it targets documents that do not contain the specified values in the field being queried. For instance, if you are looking for documents where a certain field does not have values of "A," "B," or "C," using the $nin operator would effectively filter out any documents with those values and only return those that have other values or are null.

This behavior contrasts with other operators; for instance, there are operators that include documents matching specified values, count documents, or combine multiple conditions. However, the primary function of $nin is distinctly to exclude, making it particularly useful when you need to implement logic that disregards specific entries. Consequently, this makes option B the accurate choice regarding the result produced by the $nin operator in a MongoDB query.
