Regardless of whether the incompatibility is minor or significant, if a change is not backward-compatible, you should increment the MAJOR version. So all three should be Major. https://semver.org/

Minor changes can be either backwards compatible or not. The first is Minor because incompatibility is "minor" (meaning definitely not major) and new features are something that can be found in Minor updates but not patches. 2nd is major because significant incompatibility can only be major. 3rd is tricky. Patches are generally seen as backwards compatible, but there are exceptions. Minor, as said, can be either or. The "No" for new features makes me think patch, because generally speaking, patches are for bug fixes and not new features. And Minor updates main focus is not bug fixes. Its extensive modifications smaller than "major" changes. I think I would go Minor, Major, Patch, as the solution suggests

Sorry, replace "features" with "functionality" throughout the explanation to match the question's wording. Patches are for bug fixes, not new functionality.
