Option A will print the character string "test", which is not the memory address of the string. Option B dereferences the pointer and then uses the address-of operator, which is equivalent to simply printing the original pointer value. Option D will print only the first character of the string. Option C casts the pointer to a void pointer and then prints its value, which is the memory address of the string.
