Django - Celery and Background Tasks

What is wrong with this task definition?

from celery import shared_task

@shared_task
def process_data():
    data = fetch_data()
    return data

Assuming fetch_data() is not defined anywhere.

Afetch_data() is undefined, causing a NameError at runtime

BMissing @task decorator instead of @shared_task

CTask must have at least one argument

DReturn statements are not allowed in tasks

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check function calls inside task
fetch_data() is called but not defined anywhere, causing an error.
Step 2: Verify decorator and syntax
@shared_task is correct; tasks can have no arguments and can return values.
Final Answer:
fetch_data() is undefined, causing a NameError at runtime -> Option A
Quick Check:
Undefined functions cause NameError [OK]

Quick Trick: Ensure all called functions are defined before use [OK]
