How is the continuation of a function's execution handled after it is suspended due to an asynchronous operation?

In C#, the continuation of a function after suspension due to an asynchronous operation is managed using the async and await keywords. When a function encounters an await for an async operation, it pauses, and control returns to the caller. Once the async operation completes, the function resumes from after the await.
Example:
public async Task<int> GetDataAsync()
{
int result = await SomeAsyncOperation(); // pauses here
return result + 10; // continues after operation completes
}
Thus, await allows writing asynchronous code that looks like synchronous code, simplifying reading and maintenance.
