The first p has only one *.
The second p has two *.
The third p has the most *. It has 3, I repeat 3, *s.

Seriously though... The other ppl answered this question appropriately.

Answer 6

*p holds the address of the declared variable to *p
**p is called pointer to a pointer that means it (**p) holds the address of *p
***p is called pointers to a pointers to a pointers that holds the address of **p
