    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    OPTION 'A' AS CORRECT...
    THERE ARE SEVERAL DIFFERENT USES OF POINTERS IN C...THEY ARE
    (1) int *p;
    // p is a pointer to an integer quantity
    (2) int *p[10];
    // p is a 10-element array of pointers to integer quantities
    (3) int (*p)[10];
    // p is a pointer to a 10-element integer array
    (4) int *p(void);
    // p is a function that returns a pointer to an integer quantity
    (5) int p(char *a);
    // p is a function that accepts an argument which is a pointer to a character returns an integer quantity
    (6) int *p(char *a);
    // p is a function that accepts an argument which is a pointer to a character returns a pointer to an integer quantity.
    (7) int (*p)(char *a);
    // p is pointer to a function that accepts an argument which is a pointer to a character returns an integer quantity.
    (8) int (*p(char *a))[10];
    // p is a function that accepts an argument which is a pointer to a character returns a pointer to a 10-element integer array.
    (9) int p(char (*a)[]);
    // p is a function that accepts an argument which is a pointer to a character array returns an integer quantity.
    (10) int p(char *a[]);
    // p is a function that accepts an argument which is a array of pointers to characters returns an integer quantity
    (11) int *p(char a[]);
    // p is a function that accepts an argument which is a character array returns a pointer to an integer quantity
    (12) int *p(char (*a)[]);
    // p is a function that accepts an argument which is a pointer to a character array returns a pointer to an integer quantity
    (13) int *p(char *a[]);
    // p is a function that accepts an argument which is an array of pointers to characters
    // returns a pointer to an integer quantity
    (14) int (*p)(char (*a)[]);
    // p is pointer to a function that accepts an argument which is a pointer to a character array returns an integer quantity
    (15) int *(*p)(char (*a)[]);
    // p is pointer to a function that accepts an argument which is a pointer to a character array returns a pointer to an integer quantity
    (16) int *(*p)(char *a[]);
    // p is pointer to a function that accepts an argument which is a array of pointers to characters returns a pointer to an integer quantity
    (17) int (*p[10])(void);
    // p is 10-element array of pointers to functions; each function returns an integer quantity
    (18) int (*p[10])(char a);
    // p is 10-element array of pointers to functions; each function accepts an argument which is a character and returns an integer quantity
    (19) int *(*p[10])(char a);
    // p is 10-element array of pointers to functions; each function accepts an argument which is a character and returns a pointer to an integer quantity
    (20) int *(*p[10])(char *a);
    // p is 10-element array of pointers to functions; each function accepts an argument which is a pointer to a character and returns a pointer to an integer
