diaGATE

Answer : Option A

Explanation :

Step 1: char str[25] = "FresherGATE"; The variable str is declared as an array of characteres and initialized with a string "FresherGATE".

Step 2: printf("%s\n", &str+2);

=> In the printf statement %s is string format specifier tells the compiler to print the string in the memory of &str+2

=> &str is a location of string "FresherGATE". Therefore &str+2 is another memory location.
