An lvalue is a memory location that is associated with a name and can be used by different parts of the program to access the memory location. An lvalue can appear on both sides of an assignment operator (=) and can be modified. Option A is incorrect as an lvalue is not necessarily of type long. Option C is partially correct as an lvalue can appear as the left operand of a binary operator, but it is not the definition of an lvalue. Option D is incorrect as an lvalue is not a value returned from a function.
