I think the answer is B but for a different reason than stated. It looks like if EnableCrossPartitionQuery is disabled and you try to query two partitions - Mon and Tue - then it would throw an exception and wouldn't return anything.

This is absolutely true because if not then it should have returned item 1 and 2 not just item 1.

Answer is No The query will look for day as Monday or Tuesday. Due to OR condition on day, query will span out to multiple partitions. Therefore, This query will return Item1, Item2 and Item3.

Cross partitions queries are disabled, so no you won't get anything because it states you need to do it programmatically and that will throw an exception when your result contains documents from multiple partitions.

Something to note - CosmosDB SDK v3 (Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos) Cross Partition Queries are enabled by default and there is no option to enable/disable it with EnableCrossPartitionQuery. Instead you specify Partition Key - if partition key is provided, it will scan just 1 partition, if no partition key is provided it will scan all partitions.

If the query includes a filter against the partition key, like SELECT * FROM c WHERE c.city = "Seattle", it is routed to a single partition this query has two filters in partition key day, which will require for execution in 2 partitions at least. so EnableCrossPartitionQuery should be true

Since I didn't fully understand it myself, and the comments here also give mixed answers, I tested it myself. Created database exactly specified here and ran query with EnableCrossPartitionQuery disabled. The query as stated in the question returns an error "Identifier 'id' could not be resolved". After changing "id" to "c.id" in the query it works, but returns three results (as would be expected with EnableCrossPartitionQuery turned on). I would guess that Cosmos DB creates partitions only when data exceeds a certain size? And despite the partition key here, Cosmos DB would use a single partition for these 4 small records?

The answer is No because the query will throw an exception. It should be Select c.id.... not Select id.
