Regarding the well-known Commodore 64 BASIC V2 command [LOAD "*",8,1], which of the following is true?

 EXPLANATION

The device number 8 refers to the first disk drive. Device numbers range from 8-15 with 8 referencing the first disk drive. 9, the second disk drive, and so on.
The 1 is a secondary number and determines how the program will be loaded. 1 specifies that the program will be loaded absolute. 0 specifies that the program will be loaded to the start of BASIC memory.
The quoted symbol is the filename parameter. The * symbol will have the command load the first file. The $, load the disk directory.
The LOAD command can be abbreviated but not as Lo. Commodore BASIC shortcuts have a lowercase first letter and and capitalized second letter. The abbreviation lO (lower L, capital O) will work.
