The question was asked in my homework.

The query is from Returning Objects in portion Assigning Object, Pointer to Objects, Passing and Returning Object of Object Oriented Programming

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) Two objects can point to the same memory location

The best I can explain: When an object is created and instead of calling a constructor, another object is assigned to it. Both the objects point to the same memory location. This can be illustrated with help of return by reference.
