My example did not use any function pointers.

The question was:

"I am trying to pass a 2-dimensional array to a function and return a
pointer to a 2-dimensional array."

What I posted is the simplest way I know of returning a
pointer to an array from a function.

None of those examples use any pointers to arrays.
