Explanation

In JavaScript, functions are invoked by writing the function name followed by parentheses, making myFunction() the correct syntax. The parentheses are what actually trigger the function call - they can also hold arguments if needed.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (call myFunction()) - call is not a keyword for invoking functions in JavaScript; it reads like pseudocode or another language's syntax.
• B (myFunction[]) - square brackets are used for array indexing or object property access, not function calls.
• D (function myFunction()) - this is the syntax for declaring/defining a function, not calling one that already exists.

Memory tip: Think of parentheses as a "trigger" - no (), no execution. If you see [], think arrays; if you see function keyword, think definition, not invocation.
