A void pointer is a pointer which nothing points anywhere In memory.

A null pointer means a pointer pointing to zero. In computer language, null value its just like initialize with zero.

I think the right answer is B) Void pointer.

The void pointer can point to any variable of any data type or point to NULL which means points to no location in the memory.

Because it is not pointing to any memory address therefore it's a null pointer.

And we also avoid parenthesis.

It's a cast of 0 to (void *) '0' is a null value, so we got a NULL pointer.

void *ptr indicates void or generic pointer.

So (void *) is the address of pointer ptr.

Void is used in 2 places.

1st void function_name (void).
1st void indicate functio type is null.

Eg int main, char main.

2nd (void) indicate no parameters in function.

3rd function of void is NULL POINTER.

NULL POINTER SYNTAX IS (VOID*).
