Which of the following statements creates a named constant called driverAge whose value is 16?

The correct answer is: A. const driverAge = 16;

A named constant is a variable that cannot be changed after it has been initialized. To create a named constant, you use the const keyword followed by the variable name

The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:

• Option B: The short keyword is used to declare a variable of type short. In this case, the variable type is not specified, so the variable is of type int.
• Option C: The assignment operator (=) is used to assign a value to a variable. In this case, the variable is not declared, so the statement is not valid.
• Option D: The keyword const is used to declare a named constant. In this case, the variable name is not followed by an equal sign, so the statement is not valid.
• Option E: The keyword namedconst is not a valid keyword in C++.
