Which statement accurately describes the behavior of the async/await keywords?

When async is added to a function:

async function example() {}

JavaScript guarantees:

The function always returns a Promise , regardless of what is returned inside.

Inside the function, await pauses execution until a Promise resolves.

Code appears synchronous even though it uses asynchronous behavior.

Analysis of each option:

A incorrect: Not " sometimes " —an async function always returns a Promise.

B incorrect: Async functions can be called just like normal functions.

C incorrect: Async/await has nothing to do with classes specifically.

D correct: This is the standard description: “Async functions behave asynchronously but allow writing code that looks synchronous.”

async functions always return Promises.

await pauses execution of the async function.

Async/await syntax creates synchronous-looking code on top of asynchronous operations.
