What is C in practice?
That's a question for which multiple answers are correct: a, b,
and
c.

I disagree regarding b. I think you'll find the outcome of this expression quite predictable:
int b; int c = b * 0;

Sure, if the expression doesn't depend on the value at all, it
probably
won't have unpredictable results. (Though as with any kind of undefined behavior, don't count on it, as compilers can be "clever" sometimes.)
