In the context of promises, what does the term "pending" mean?

The promise has resolved successfully.
The promise is waiting for an action to complete.
The promise has failed due to an error.
The promise has been canceled.

The correct answer is: The promise is waiting for an action to complete.

The term "pending" in the context of promises refers to the state when a promise is waiting for an asynchronous operation to complete. At this stage, the promise has not yet fulfilled (resolved successfully) or rejected (failed due to an error). While in the pending state, the promise is in the process of performing the asynchronous task, and it can either transition to a fulfilled state if the operation completes successfully, or to a rejected state if it encounters an error during execution. This waiting phase is essential for handling asynchronous code, allowing developers to write clean and manageable code without blocking the execution of other operations.
