Correct Answer 1 2

The sizeof() operator gives the number of bytes taken by its operand. p is a character pointer, which needs one byte for storing its value (a character). Hence sizeof(*p) gives a value of 1. Since it needs two bytes to store the address of the character pointer sizeof(p) gives 2.
