Correct answer: It is advisable to use a mix of very popular, mildly popular and less popular hashtags, 5-15 is the recommended number of hashtags for the post.
Why this is the answer
Using a mix of very popular, mildly popular, and less popular hashtags increases your post's visibility. Very popular hashtags offer broad reach but high competition, while less popular, niche hashtags can attract a more targeted audience with less competition. This strategy balances reach and relevance. The recommended number of hashtags for a post is typically between 5 and 15. While Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags in a post description and 10 in Stories, using too many can appear spammy and dilute your message. The option stating you can add up to 35 hashtags is incorrect as the limit is 30. Hashtags are also effective in the first comment of a post, not just the description, making that option incorrect.
