Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
A named constant, by definition, cannot have its value changed during program execution. This is the main feature that distinguishes it from a variable. Therefore, statement B is not true. The other statements are all true: a named constant's content cannot change during program execution, it is a memory location, and it is declared using the reserved word final.
