A reference does not occupy any storage so in that sense is not a (const) pointer. As I understand its simply another name for the referenced variable and is apparently only used by the compiler.

What you expect here pointer itself stores a ref of the variable rather it is known as the one who stores or points the refrence of the variable so option A is a correct.

Reference can not be like a pointer. It's just another name of a variable.
