the address of a structure
a copy of a structure
nothing
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: C. a pointer to a structure
A pointer is a variable that stores the address of another variable.
In this case, the functiongetData() returns a pointer to a structure. This means that the caller of the function can use the pointer to access the data in the structure.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option A is incorrect because the function does not return the address of the structure itself, but rather a pointer to the structure.
- Option B is incorrect because the function does not return a copy of the structure, but rather a pointer to the structure.
- Option D is incorrect because the function does return something, namely a pointer to the structure.
