Question No: 6 ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
When should you use a const reference parameter?


Whenever the parameter has huge size.
Whenever the parameter has huge size, the function changes the parameter within its body, and you do NOT want these changes to alter the actual argument.
Whenever the parameter has huge size, the function changes the parameter within its body, and you DO
want these changes to alter the actual argument.
Whenever the parameter has huge size, and the function does not change the parameter within its body. Declaring a parameter as a const simply means that the function can’t change the value of its parameters.
