A programming language doesn't really dictate job title. For instance a college student who writes little C programs for class is just a student.
"C" is used more for telling hardware what to do. And, I would call that person:
D: a Nerd.
(Like me...)
Just because a person is a programmer, doesn't make that person a nerd.
Also, isn't there a Victoria Secret model who can code?

If you're coding in C and not in one of the modern "psuedo-code" languages then you are a nerd. I am one.

Depending on who you ask, they are interchangeable. You could throw Software Analyst into there as well to get fancy.

Your generalizing, also what defines a nerd? The definition has evolved over the years. Your logic is flawed. Its like saying anybody that runs this time or runs this mileage is a real runner. Like there is a precise criteria for it, when there isn't. Regardless, my point is coding is a skill for a career field, and has nothing to do if someone is a nerd or not.
I used to like C++, back when it was "C with classes." Then it added a garbage collector. Sellouts!
In modern programming languages it's difficult to accidentally create a memory leak. A common programming interview question for C# or Java developer jobs is to create a program with a memory leak.

I don't use "C" but have held 2 of those titles. I don't really get hung up on titles so when people ask what I do I just say computer programmer. They can relate to that.

I always hate that question because what they're looking for isn't really a memory leak... they just want you to have a bunch of references to objects and just keep creating more. A true memory leak in Java is a bit harder to create...

Creating a memory leak in C# in an interview is equivalent to asking what animal you would be if you could be one.
You are what the job opening wants you to be.

As others have mentioned, a person who codes in any language could have any of the 3 titles. The "in C" part is irrelevant.
For someone coding in C (not C++) in this object oriented age, the answer is:
D. Neanderthal
Yes, C is listed high in the Tiobe Index because it's part of LAMP, but I haven't seen anyone looking for a plain vanilla C programmer in a loooooong time.
Hasn't anyone here heard of stuff like Ruby?
D. a dinosaur, maybe?
and I've written a lot of C code. recently
Would it be o.k to call myself a software engineer if I coded in HTML?

Ruby is notoriously slower than languages like C. On the other hand, Ruby is great at doing something, I'm sure (making flashy websites that attract hipsters, maybe?).

Could be either or all 3; I have done the same job at difference companies and have had all of those titles almost interchangeably. Albeit, "C' is more closely related to being a Software Developer or Engineer focusing on the backend, communications between the hardware, middleware and databases, etc. Whereas, an app developer tends to focus on the front end/client side and denotes using VB, Java/JavaScript, HTML, CSS and PHP, etc. Btw, the software developer title is not used too often in the corporate world unless you work for a company that develops it own OTS and or commercial software. - Hopefully this helps.
