A Correct answer
Explanation

The array is declared as char ** array[12][12][12], which is a 3D array of pointers to char . To point to this array, we need a pointer to the first element, which is char * (*)[12][12]. This matches option A. Options B and C have incorrect indirection levels. D adds const incorrectly. E has wrong pointer type.
