Option b is the correct answer.
syntax for declaration "datatype_name variable_name;"
Here char is the datatype name.
*ptr[3]
* represent the pointer.
[3] represent the array.
Finally, char *ptr[3] represents "An array of three pointers to chars".
Option b is the correct answer for the given declaration.

*ptr[3]

[3] represent the array.
Finally, char *ptr[3] represents "An array of three pointers to chars".
Option b is the correct answer for the given declaration.

In option (A) *ptr[3](); is a function means every pointer value is work as a function.
In optinc (c) (*ptr[3])(); is a complete pointer function.
In option (D) defines the pointer of pointer of array.
So,finally option(B) is correct,which gives "An array of three pointers to chars".
In optinc (c) (*ptr[3])(); is a complete pointer function.
In option (D) defines the pointer of pointer of array.

Option (b) signifies that we are having a pointer variable ptr.
[3] means 3 elements in array.
And char *ptr[3]means we are having a pointer that is pointing to an array which holds the character.
So option 2 is correct one.
[3] means 3 elements in array.

So option 2 is correct one.

char *ptr[3]; ==>it means ptr is an array of three character pointers.
char (*ptr)[3] ==>it means ptr is a pointer to the array which consists 3 3 characters as its elements
char (*ptr)[3] ==>it means ptr is a pointer to the array which consists 3 3 characters as its elements

char *ptr[3];
This means ptr is a array of size 3 (i.e. It contains 3 elements) , of type ptr (i.e. it contains 3 pointer elements) (i.e. it is an array of 3 pointers) , which is of type char?

char *ptr[3] is right because it is a declaration of pointer of array, i.e., *(*(ptr+i)) where i is a character type of variable, store the address of char array type variable.

Yes b option is correct *ptr[3]
*(ptr[3])is a pointer to array of 3 elements
where as *ptr[3] is an array consists of 3 pointers.
agreed with nagraj and nishu

What you have marked as answer is a pointer to an array of three character the correct answer will be char (*ptr)[3];

char *ptr[3]; It is an array wich consists of pointers.
int *(ptr[20]); It is the pointer to array of 10 elements
int *(ptr[20]); It is the pointer to array of 10 elements
