B. A reference that remains constant

Absolute referencing in Excel keeps cell references constant when formulas are copied, which is essential for maintaining specific values. For example, a formula referencing $C$1 will always point to that cell, regardless of where the formula is moved. This is particularly useful for calculations that require a fixed reference, like tax rates or fixed costs. ;
