When row(s) is deleted in a list view, which row should be selected next?

Say I have a list of rows in a grid/list/table, where the user can select multiple rows and delete them together. In which case, selecting/focusing which row after deletion gives the most intuitive experience for user?

E.g. In the below image I have rows 1, 2, and 4 selected (with focus on 2nd row). If I remove them which row should have focus/selection next? enter image description here

Some of the answers I can think of:

  1. Select/focus nothing.
  2. Select nothing but leave focus on 2nd index (after deletion it would be Id 5 row). I think this is what windows file explorer does.
  3. Always select the first row.
  4. Id 3 row - the first row after one of the deleted rows.
  5. Id 5 row - the first row after the last deleted item.

I find options 1, 2, 3 weird. 5 is the most commonly seen choice?
