Explanation:

 

An identity matrix is a square matrix with ones on the main diagonal and zeros elsewhere. The program checks if all diagonal elements are 1 and all other elements are 0.

Source Code:
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int arr[3][3] = {{1, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 1}};
    int isIdentity = 1;

    for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
            if ((i == j && arr[i][j] != 1) || (i != j && arr[i][j] != 0)) {
                isIdentity = 0;
                break;
            }
        }
    }

    if (isIdentity)
        printf("The matrix is an Identity Matrix\n");
    else
        printf("The matrix is not an Identity Matrix\n");

    return 0;
}
Output:
The matrix is an Identity Matrix
