ByRef allows changes made to the parameter in the called procedure to also affect the variable in the calling code. This is useful when you want to modify the original value of the variable.

C) ByVal is also a valid choice as it passes a copy of the value to the called procedure, therefore preventing changes made to the parameter in the called procedure from affecting the variable in the calling code. However, the question specifies passing a reference to the variable, so ByRef is a more precise answer.

B) ByHand and D) ByVar are not valid choices as they are not recognized syntax for passing arguments in VB.NET.
