In JavaScript, an empty statement (a semicolon ; with no associated code) is completely ignored by the interpreter. It does not cause an error or warning.

Example:

;;;

console.log("Hello, World!");

• The semicolons (;;;) are empty statements, but they are ignored.
• The code runs without any issues and prints "Hello, World!".

Why Not Other Options?

• (A) Throws an error → Incorrect. JavaScript does not throw an error for empty statements.
• (B) Shows a warning → Incorrect. No warnings are generated for empty statements.
• (D) Prompts to complete the statement → Incorrect. JavaScript does not prompt the user for incomplete code; it simply ignores empty statements.
