Answer 1

Ok after a bit more clarification what is needed, try something like this:

    char *fruit[] = {"rasberry", "cherry"};
    char *veg[] = {"salad", "tomato"};
    char word[100]={0};


    printf("Print a veg or a fruit \n");
    scanf("%s", word);

    // Check fruit
    for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
    {
        if (strcmp(word,fruit[i])==0)
        {
            printf("Its fruit \n");
        }
    }
    // Check veg
    for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
    {
        if (strcmp(word,veg[i])==0)
        {
            printf("Its veg \n");
        }
    }
