Answer:

Compiler Error. We cannot apply indirection on type void*.

Explanation:

Void pointer is a generic pointer type. No pointer arithmetic can be done on it. Void pointers are normally used for,

1. Passing generic pointers to functions and returning such pointers.

2. As a intermediate pointer type.

3. Used when the exact pointer type will be known at a later point of time.
