C is very reliable. It works almost everywhere with very little resources or overhead and many of the most fundamental parts of our systems (that have to work reliably) are written in C. Many of the languages in that image are even implemented in C.

If you want to write portable, fast, and simple code C can help you with that if you use it in the right way.
