1) Here is the structure declaration of a doubly linked list


        struct dlink {
                int     nodeid;
                struct  dlink   *next;
                struct  dlink   *prev;
        } dlink_t;


 A pointer of the head of the linked list is maintained as a global variable, whose definition is 
        dlink_t  *head;


        The funtion remove_element(dlink_t *rp), needs to remove the node pointed to the rp and adjust the head.


The first node's prev and the last node's next are NULL.


        remove_element(dlink_t *rp)
        {
                rp->prev->next  =  rp->next;
                rp->next->prev  =  rp->prev;
                if( head == rp)
                        head = rp->next;


Which of the following statement is true about the fution remove_element

                     return (sp);
                } while (*sp++);
                return NULL;
        }
     
        The first argument sp, is a pointer to a C string. The second
argument, c, is a character. This function scarches for the character
c, in the string. If it is found a pointer to that location is returned
else NULL is returned.
This function works
a) Always

c) works when c is a non NULL character only
