Description of the problem

When to Use Each
Use queueMicrotask() for tasks that need to run immediately after the current script and before any I/O or timer callbacks, typically for Promise resolutions.
Use process.nextTick() for tasks that should execute before any I/O events, often useful for deferring operations or handling errors synchronously.
Use setImmediate() for tasks that should run after I/O events but before timers.

This line appears to be incorrect. According to the Node.js event loop phases, setImmediate() callbacks are executed during the check phase, which occurs after I/O callbacks and after timers have already been processed in the timers phase.
