Q
What is the purpose of using the async attribute with an external JavaScript file in the <head> section?

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
The async attribute with an external JavaScript file in the <head> section loads and executes the script after HTML parsing without blocking rendering or delaying other scripts. However, it doesn't guarantee script execution order, which may be necessary for certain functionalities.
