B.
22
Detailed Explanation
Correct Answer: 22
The expression &a[1] represents the address of the second element of the array.
Therefore, p points to the value 22. Dereferencing the pointer using *p gives the value stored at that address.
Hence the output is 22.
Remember: & obtains an address, while * accesses the value stored at that address.
