Consider this C code to swap two integers and these five statements:
void swap(int *px, int *py) 
{ 
    *px = *px - *py; 
    *py = *px + *py; 
    *px = *py - *px; 
}
S1: will generate a compilation error

S2: may generate a segmentation fault at runtime depending on the arguments passed

S3: correctly implements the swap procedure for all input pointers referring to integers stored in memory locations accessible to the process

S4: implements the swap procedure correctly for some but not all valid input pointers

S5: may add or subtract integers and pointers.
A
S1
B
S2 and S3
C

     {
       int x=10;
       return(&x);
     }
[P2] int*g(void)
      {
        int *px;
       *px = 10;
        return px;
      }
[P3] int*g(void)
     {
       int *px
       px =(int*)malloc (size of (int));
       *px = 10;
       return px;
     }
