When an object is passed as an argument, a reference to the object is passed into the parameter variable. This means that the parameter variable now refers to the same object as the argument, allowing the method to access and modify the object's state. Passing a copy of the object (A) would not allow the method to make changes to the original object, while passing a reference to the object's state (B) would require the method to manually reconstruct the object using the passed state. Option D is incorrect as Objects can be passed as arguments in many programming languages.
