C
You cannot AutoFill formulas with absolute cell references.
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -D. None of the above. Based on the options given, the most likely answer to this query is “B. Auto Fill automatically adjusts formulas with relative cell references.” This excel function is helpful in those tasks.

Detailed explanation-2: -Relative Cell References This is the most widely used type of cell reference in formulas. Relative cell references are basic cell references that adjust and change when copied or when using AutoFill. Example: =SUM(B5:B8), as shown below, changes to =SUM(C5:C8) when copied across to the next cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Put the mouse pointer over the bottom right-hand corner of the cell until it’s a black plus sign. Click and hold the left mouse button, and drag the plus sign over the cells you want to fill. And the series is filled in for you automatically using the AutoFill feature.

Detailed explanation-4: -Select the formula in the cell using the mouse, and press Ctrl + C to copy it. Select the destination cell, and press Ctl+V. This will paste the formula exactly, without changing the cell references, because the formula was copied as text.

Detailed explanation-5: -A formula in Excel always begins with an equal sign (=). Excel interprets the characters that follow the equal sign as a formula. Following the equal sign are the elements to be calculated (the operands), such as constants or cell references. These are separated by calculation operators.
