Accepted answer
In case of 3, no you can't be sure when GC will grab the object but definitely it will grab it. So my pick is also 3.

Yes, the answer is option 3.

Even if there are no remaining references to an object, you can't be sure when the GC will next run and collects objects in that particular generation.

Also, if the object has a destructor, it won't be collected when the GC next runs in any case. Instead, it will be placed in a queue until the finalization thread next runs. The object will then be removed from the queue and the code in its destructor will be run. The object will be finally collected when the GC next runs after that.

I also agree on option 3 as others

When MSIL newObj excutes then GC trigger and check gen0 object and mark in upper generation and reclaims the memory so we don't be certain that which object will be exist in which generation Zero,One or Two. gen0 is less stable and gen2 is more stable. gen2 object is stable object.
