The correct statement about a hashing structure is:

c. Pointers are used to indicate the location of a record with the same address as another record.

In hashing, collisions can occur when two records are hashed to the same address. To handle collisions, a common approach is to use linked lists or other data structures that allow multiple records with the same hash value to be stored at the same address. Pointers are then used to indicate the location of each record within these data structures.

The correct statement about a hashing structure is: (c).
