Yes, exactly it is the correct explanation.

char **apple - It is a double pointer,
char *apple[] -It is an array of pointers,
char apple[][]-It id 2-d array.

For all the three cases memory allocation itself is different, doesn't anyone notice this.

apple[][] is fully allocated continuous memory locations.

*apple[] - the first dimension is continuously memory allocated whereas the second dimension is discrete pointers pointing random memory addresses.

**apple - here all the memory locations are randomly allocated.

1 and 2 are same but 3 are 2D array.

1 -----> apple[1] = *(apple +1).
2 -----> apple[1][1]= *(*(apple+1)+1).
3 -----> from 1 and 2 apple[1][1] = *(apple[1] +1).
