I think it is up to the development of programming languages when C appeared it was considered as a high level because it is far away from machine languages but now the new languages are further so now it is considered as a low level however I didn't use this term in programming projects so I think it doesn't matter what is the level if I solve my problems

I think C is Low as well middle as well High level language. C is near to machine or takes very close to the hardware with memory pointers and also is high level language because C takes further to machine level too.

not sure, because assembly is lower for sure. maybe because no one really talk about assembly as much as before thus making C looks like low level language. or maybe its just considered as low level in scope of modern language please note its a personal opinion, i could be totally wrong.

C can accept both low level language and high level language.thus it is a mid level language.
