@All
We know that ptr points to addr of the first index of the array. In order to point the ptr to every index of the array, we have to use ptr of the array such that *ptr[00]-->arr[0]
*ptr[1]-->arr[1] and so on .
Correct me if I am wrong.

Here, we have an array of 3 characters char a[3], we have to assign a pointer to whole elements of the array. So * in the parenthesis. And ptr is the pointer to an array. The Combination of these we will get char (*ptr) [3].

See if there was no star symbol then it would have been, array of 3 character. Now since since star is within parenthesis that operation is applied to whole array. So, it is pointer to array of 3 characters.

Here we should have 3 characters only but not pointers. To declare any pointer we can have the syntax like char a[3]. So here a is an array which can contain 3 characters. We are asked for pointer to array of 3 characters. So to declare it char (*ptr) [3] is the correct one. Where ptr is a pointer to an array which contains 3.
