You cannot give a Window Function an alias.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -That is, window functions are not accessible in WHERE, GROUP BY, or HAVING clauses. For this reason, you cannot use any of these functions in WHERE : ROW NUMBER(), RANK(), DENSE RANK(), LEAD(), LAG(), or NTILE() .

Detailed explanation-2: -Yes, you can certainly use column aliases in your “order by” clause.

Detailed explanation-3: -They reduce the result set based on the aggregation. Window partitions can be defined to form groups of rows. They compute a value for each and every row in the window. They require the ‘over’ clause.

Detailed explanation-4: -Window functions are permitted only in the SELECT list and the ORDER BY clause of the query. They are forbidden elsewhere, such as in GROUP BY, HAVING and WHERE clauses. This is because they logically execute after the processing of those clauses. Also, window functions execute after non-window aggregate functions.
