What operator is central to pointer arithmetic?

The correct answer is: ++

Pointer arithmetic is a feature of the C programming language that allows for efficient manipulation of memory addresses through the use of pointers. The ++ (increment) operator, also known as the 'unary plus' operator, is essential to this process. The += operator is used for addition and assignment, the -> operator is used for accessing members of a structure or union through a pointer, and the & operator is used for referencing the address of a variable. None of these operators are central to pointer arithmetic in the way that the ++ operator is.
