Const value const pointer question

#include <iostream>
int main(){
const char* const hello = "Hello, world!";
const char* bruh = hello;
char* const yeet = hello;
std::cout << bruh << std::endl;
std::cout << yeet << std::endl;
return 0;
}
/*
Place your bets!
Will the program:
a.) Print "Hello, world!" twice?
b.) Compile error on line 5 (bruh initialize line) because the pointer gets implicit cast to non-const?
c.) Compile error on line 7 (yeet initialize line) because the char gets implicit cast to non-const?
d.) Both b and c?
e.) Compile error line 11 (print yeet) because the pointer is constant and can't be incremented
f.) Print "Hello, world!" then print the pointer address in hexadecimal
g.) Both b and e?
h.) Both c and e?
i.) B, c, and e?
