What is NOT a valid use of pointer arithmetic as per the text?

  1. Incrementing a pointer to move to the next array element

  2. Using the + operator to add two pointers

  3. Subtracting an integer from a pointer

  4. Comparing two pointers for equality

The correct answer is: Using the + operator to add two pointers

Pointer arithmetic is used to manipulate memory addresses and access different elements in an array. Option B is not a valid use of pointer arithmetic because adding two pointers does not have a well-defined behavior. The other options, A, C, and D, are all valid uses of pointer arithmetic.
