volume_mute

Two pointer variables are aliases when they point to the same memory location. The same is true for reference variables.

Correct Answer

True

Explanation

This kind of aliasing is simply a side effect of the nature of pointers and references. When a C++ pointer is set to point at a named variable, the pointer, when dereferenced, and the variable’s name are aliases.
