    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    Option A is the correct function to find the length of given string.

    Example:

    #include 
     int xstrlen(char *s) 
      {
            int length=0;  
            while(*s!='\0')  
          { length++; s++; }    
          return (length); 
      }
      int main() 
      {
         char d[] = "FRESHERGATE";  
         printf("Length = %d\n", xstrlen(d));  
         return 0; 
      } 
    

    Output: Length = 8
