Which of the following special symbol allowed in a variable name?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Variable names in C are made up of letters (upper and lower case) and digits. The underscore character ("_") is also permitted. Names must not begin with a digit.
Examples of valid (but not very descriptive) C variable names:
=> foo
=> Bar
=> BAZ
=> foo_bar
=> _foo42
=> _
=> QuUx

The C rule of declaring variable name says that variable name starts with the underscore but not with other special characters, and it should not be any identifier name.

The C rule of declaring variable name says that variable name starts with the underscore but not with other special characters, but $ can also be used right. Then why it is not mentioned in c rules.

int *ptr;.
Here pointer is also a variable than answer should be *.
