Only difference I could see is cover is the distance between the surface of the concrete and the near face of the bar. Clearance is distance between bar faces.
That's what they are saying. In 15 years as a structural inspector, I've never had anyone make that distinction. And I inspected one of the largest bents/piers that's ever been built in Louisiana, so I haven't just been inspecting residential footings.

This is 100% correct. ACI requires minimum clearance between reinforcing members. I think its 2" or 2x bar diameter whatever is greater.
Not exactly sure on requirements of cover but its similar to clearance.

This is the correct answer.
