The * does not enumerate files starting with. @Nitn is exactly correct. The answer is wrong.

Answer should be none of the above. Because cat is used to create a file with some contents.

C option is incorrect. * does not match A. At the start of a string (file name).

Any files that have a string of (in this example) ch will be displayed. Each of the answers in A, B & C, contain that string so 'All Of The Above' is correct.

The asterisk on either sides of ch states that any number of characters can be present on its LHS and RHS. So all three come under this category.
