The brackets are the key to this problem. Always read C declarations from right to left (backwards) and start will stuff inside brackets.
[] = array * = pointer
int *ptr [10] backwards is [10] ptr * int
so this is Array of 10 pointers to int
int (*ptr)[10] bracket first and backwards is * ptr [10] int
so this is pointer to an array of 10 integers
[] = array * = pointer
int *ptr [10] backwards is [10] ptr * int
so this is Array of 10 pointers to int
int (*ptr)[10] bracket first and backwards is * ptr [10] int
so this is pointer to an array of 10 integers

*ptr is a pointer and[10] is array declarations.

Can you explain me the concept?

* means its represent as a pointer variable and here within a array bracket they give us 10 integers.
So that the ans is B.
So that the ans is B.

The below program explains tat the starting address of the array. so it is [int (*ptr)[5];] is a pointer to array not array pointer which can be declared by int *ptr[5];
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int arr[5];
int (*ptr)[5];
ptr=&arr[10];
printf("%ld",ptr[5]);
return 0;
}
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int arr[5];
int (*ptr)[5];
ptr=&arr[10];
printf("%ld",ptr[5]);
return 0;
}

If () is not there then int *ptr[] start with [] and it means array of pointers of type integers.

int (*ptr)[10]
also we can write it as
int *ptr[10]
this line says that ptr is a pointer type variable which stores the address of first element of a 10 elements array list
as we know that array is continous memory type allocation.....

pointer of array is declared as type (*p)[14]
array of pointers is declared as type *p[14]
array of pointers is declared as type *p[14]
