A refrigerator is a machine used for keeping things cold. It is sometimes called a fridge or an icebox. People put food and drinks in it, to keep those items cold or good (unspoiled) for a longer time. A refrigerator has a heat pump that takes heat away from the air inside the fridge.

The purpose of refrigerator and heat pump is different. Though they work at the same cycle i.e., reverse carnot cycle. Both have different COP as well. Then how we can say refrigerator as a heat pump?

This answer is correct.
As in both the refrigerator and pump heat is taken from cold bodywork is done on it and heat is given to the hot body.
But it is not the same in the case in a heat engine.
