ATo replace Django's built-in ORM

BTo create database models automatically

CTo style the frontend of the Django app

DTo run time-consuming tasks in the background without blocking the main app

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Understand Celery's role
Celery is a tool for running tasks asynchronously, meaning it handles tasks in the background.
Step 2: Compare options
Creating database models automatically, styling the frontend of the Django app, and replacing Django's built-in ORM are unrelated to Celery; only running time-consuming tasks in the background without blocking the main app correctly describes its purpose.
Final Answer:
To run time-consuming tasks in the background without blocking the main app -> Option D
Quick Check:
