Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When you copy and paste a formula that includes a cell reference, Excel uses a ____, a cell address that automatically changes to reflect the new location when the formula is copied or moved.
A
Relative reference
B
Destination area
C
Paste area
D
Reference
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These are called “relative” cell references, since they change relative to where you copy the formula. If you do not want cell references to change when you copy a formula, then make those cell references absolute cell references. Place a “$” before the column letter if you want that to always stay the same.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ctrl + D-Copy a formula from the cell above and adjusts the cell references. For example, if you have a formula in cell A1 and you want to copy it to cell A2, select A2 and press Ctrl + D. Ctrl + R-Copy a formula from the cell to the left and adjusts the cell references.

Detailed explanation-3: -When you copy a formula that contains a relative cell reference, that reference in the formula will change. As an example, if you copy the formula =B4*C4 from cell D4 to D5, the formula in D5 adjusts to the right by one column and becomes =B5*C5.

Detailed explanation-4: -A relative cell reference in a formula will not change when the formula is copied. By default, when a cell reference is first included in a formula (so that only the column and row reference are included), it is displayed as a relative cell reference.
