Answer 1

You can't return a pointer to an automatic local variable. total is an automatic local variable and it doesn't exist after function body executed.

Pointer to static local variable or dynamically allocated variable can be returned. Change
int total[10]; to

int *total = malloc(10 * sizeof(int));
