It should be Yes No No https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/the-right-way-to-handle-azure-onstop-events/ "The code above checks the ASP.NET request’s current counter. As long as there are requests, the OnStop method calls Sleep to delay the shutdown. Once the current request’s counter drops to zero, OnStop returns, which initiates shutdown. Should the web server be so busy that the pending requests cannot be completed in 5 minutes, the application is shut down anyway. Remember that once the Stopping event is raised, the LB stops sending requests to the web role, so unless you had a massively under sized (or too few instances of) web role, you should never need more than a few seconds to complete the current requests."

The phrase "Once the current request’s counter drops to zero, OnStop returns, which initiates shutdown." is suggesting that the third answer is in fact YES.

Yes No No - OnStop does not return immediately, but after pending requests are processed
